First day jitters

I started my new job today, and consequently I got about 1 1/2 hours slept last night. That made absorbing all the information today a bit hard, but I think I did okay. The people seem nice. There's still a lot to learn as I haven't done any real work yet.

I was plagued with doubts this morning when I got a message on my cellphone voicemail about another job that I'd applied for, which would be permanent (the one I've taken is only 3 months) and might be more interesting. The flipside is that it's a little further away. I suppose I have no choice but to turn it down. It's so hard to know what to do... does anyone else battle with these issues?

Fifteen weeks to go, then. I'm going to make myself finish my novel before the contract is over, and also submit it to the first publisher on my list. I want to know if I have any hope of getting publishing before launching into anything long term again. *fingers crossed*
