Data point: Even when I come out of a job interview with the recruiter outright saying "You are awesome, you should get this role" ... I still feel exhausted and emotionally wrung out.
In theory, this actually says something helpful about my reactions to things in general, which is that my emotions have little to do with the actual facts behind something, so I can deal with them as emotions rather than stress out about finding out the facts.
In theory. :P
@ComputerHusband Yeah, we have similar traditions. :) For this one, since it's a hour a day over multiple days (It's an internal title change so it's more "casual") I made do with a fancy-grocery-store trip after yesterday's session for nice snacks, which are right here nearby. ;)
In PRACTICE, I am now going to find a dark corner to curl up in with a plushie. -.-
