Definitely true for me as I was reading this thread, so thank you for making this a bit more relatable in my mind (and those of others, I'm sure).
- jrm4 5y agoYeah, in my case it was like "okaaaay so you're gonna have a job?" Ended up being two, no "travel the world" at the time or anything like that, more the opposite... I'm in my mid-40's now, but I swear to you I have never felt older in my life then that time nearly 20 years ago; After a completely awkward TGI Friday's dinner, I'm in my hotel room in Miami. Instead of being out visiting friends which I had planned weeks earlier, at the last minute the boss decides we should go over the powerpoint a one-hundred and SIXTH time. The first day of grad school was DELICIOUS after that.
