The Waiting Game

I have made myself quite anxious for a month now. Well, almost. 

I applied for a position that I really wanted but since this is a government post, I have undergone the tedious process of selection and promotion - exams, interviews, and the paranoia of waiting for the result. 

Of course, it is a valid feeling when we get excited for the result of something we have been waiting for. 

Just like this promotion, I guess I am excited because I want the anxiety to end. I have been sleepless for a number of days last week, and have been fighting the urge to wake up in the middle of the night overthinking about my actions. Did I sound good in the interview? Have I made myself clear in my intentions? Was I articulate in my answers? Did they see me competent? And many others... 

The election ban is nearing (March 25) and we are all waiting for the 4 positions to be filled, as appointments are actually made by the Central Office. 

I may also be under a lot of stress lately because my headaches haven't subsided. There must be something wrong with me but I fear for what I will discover. Pretty sure the husband will be mad at me for tolerating the pain a tad longer. Must be the hormones though. 

So let's wait and see. After all, I have made a vow to always make a better version of myself, with or without the promotion.
