*creeps out of the time hole, that two new jobs and moving to two new apartments within a year brought along* Uh... hi. I'm still alive, haha 😅
I hope I'll find more time and energy to get a bit active on here again soon (haven't even caught up with DW yet, gasp!) - as it looks like there might be an active fandom to join again ;D
Howeverrrr... First I'm going on vacation to LA next week (my first trip outside of Europe! *excited noises*), and was wondering:
Are any mutuals going to Gallifrey One in two weeks and maybe feeling like meeting up? :D

When Imposter Syndrome starts feeling more and more real... 🫠
Me: *stumbles through the new job tasks, repeatedly being corrected/critiqued after getting differing instructions, and still getting ridiculously lost in hallways 3 weeks in, feeling like I'll never properly get the hang of things and am just flailing around, stressed out of my mind and overwhelmed at times - particularly whenever shoved in at the deep end*
Colleagues from security subcontractors: You're still so new?! You're doing a better job than some of your coworkers - no offense - who've been here for months, if not years...
Shift leader from my service subcontractor: *shows me around another new task area, just one day after I ended up in a completely wrong gate direction to meet a runway shuttle bus, and had to have airport security drive up to let me into the building again after I managed to disengage a door because I failed unlocking it properly* And this info point is also manned by us - you'll likely be sitting here as well once you got the hang of things, which we're all already presuming. *nonchalant*
Higher-up from the direct airport terminal management: *approaches me* Why don't you try applying directly with us? I've been watching you, and you seem very capable - we could use more people like you. Give it a shot; but don't tell your colleagues I suggested it, okay?

I–... I literally had a cry in the staff room one day, because I thought I'm completely failing in even my starting task and feeling completely overwhelmed with things, already questioning if I can continue this job...?
Is my own view of my capability really that off? 🫠
