Two days to go

Well, it's official, I am nervous. I start my new job in two days. I am sure everyone will be nice and stuff but it's a big change.
Four years at my previous job got me pretty comfortable and now I am starting again. I am the sort of person who hates not knowing stuff - a bit of a perfectionist - the kind who is even hard to keep suprises from coz I can wear people down with 'Is it this?', 'Is it that?'.
Plus I don't know when I'll be working. I think it's a six day week then a four day week on rotation. One weekend on and one off. But will the other day be a constant? Will I work lots of nights? I hate waiting to find this stuff out. I can deal with it once I know but not knowing eats away at me.
Plus I am not sure what section I am looking after, how many staff I will have, exactly what my responsibilities will be or even how I get paid.
I know I will have the answers in two days, but I want to know NOW dammit.
I know Thursday night I will be freaking out. The lead up to these things kills me... Then I am fine on the day.
One of my previous jobs I went into my first day with only ONE HOUR of sleep the night before. I felt like I would die. I don't think I am that bad now but I know these next two days will fly past in a blur of 'but what if?'.
Tomorrow I should go and get a hair cut so I don't look like Cousin It on my first day. This will require effort and it's going to be HOT again.
I should probably wash some work type clothes too. I balled them all up two weeks ago in 'holiday' mode but it's back to reality now.
I was going to go to the dental specialist while on leave too. Oops, that never happened. Now I will regret it because my teeth aren't fixed and it's another thing to be nervous about.
Oh well, I know things will be fine.. I just have to ride out the anticipation.
Anyway it's after two in the morning. Time to turf the dog out and get some sleeeeeep.
Goodnight out there, whatever you are... bwa-ha-ha-ha
