Weird Am I?

You know how it feels when you crave for a particular thing, day and night you think about it, you want it so bad. When it finally falls in your lap, you are grateful, your joys know no bounds. Right then a realization strikes, a truth dawns on you of the additional baggage, the thing you wanted has brought along with it.

You all know, I was sending out my resume, looking for other opportunities. There were days where I so very much wanted to leave my current job. Yesterday I got a offer from one of the companies I interviewed with and I accepted it. Yippie!! I am definitely grateful and happy. The position offers more learning opportunity than my current job and I am no doubt excited.
But then hours after the truth sank in.

• I will now have to inform my manager and other collegues at my current job
I don't know how they are going to take it? Will they feel stabbed in the back? Will they feel cheated? They had surely invested in me to start with, relocation expenses, visa fees etc, but then I gave it my all, worked and fulfilled my responsibilities. Now I am clueless how to initiate a conversation with my manager and how to tell him that I am quitting? He is on travel today and will be in office tomorrow morning. Should it be via email or in person? Someone please guide me on this.

• Pack up everything at home
When I first relocated here, I had to bring all my stuff in 2 big bags and 5 boxes but then I didn't have any furniture with me. The very thought of packing everything seems like a herculean task and when you know that you will be unpacking it again soon, you so very much don't feel like doing it.

• Find a new apartment
It is never to easy to find an apartment that meets your needs, is close to your workplace and the rent fits your budget. And then settling in your new place. Changing addresses with banks, credit cards, insurance

• Wind up my current projects, clear my desk, my work machine
Now the projects that I have been slogging day in and out, they are literally like my babies, the code, the applications. I don't feel like leaving them without knowing how they are going to perform, if they were successful. I will have to clear all the files, the books and every little thing on my desk.

• Fear of the new
Then there is the apprehension of the new. How the new work enviornment is going to be. How are the people around going to treat me.

• India Trip
Would no longer be able to do my one month planned trip in December. It will be one year since I last visited. Would have to postpone it for 2006.

• Time Factor
To top it all, all this has to be tackled within a week and I don't know where to start at.

There is so much to deal with, so much to rush and do, its too much stress.
But then probably I have faced all of it before when I moved in here and so this time too I am gearing myself up for the challenge.
