Congrats on the new job! I'd be stressed about the T situation as well. Is the new job the sort of place that has flexible hours at all, where you could work longer one day and leave earlier another day or take a longer lunch break one day, as long as it all adds up to 40 hours (or whatever the standard is at that job)? If so, then you may be able to fit in at least a weekly session. Or if you have an understanding boss, you may be able to do a more unofficial leave early or take a long lunch, then make up the time later thing. My H's boss is like that (though he's also been there a long time). Or, you may not be able to do this right in the beginning, but if you're allowed to take leave in small increments, like an hour or two, you could possibly do that. So there could be solutions.
