How can I handle waiting. (20M)

Currently I am waiting to start working at a shipyard job. I went through a long ass hiring process, every single step I’ve done and now I’m just waiting to receive a start date.
Apparently, the place is going through a hiring freeze that won’t end until February.
No amount of distracting myself seems to work. I have a feeling something terrible is going to happen and I am not going to get this good job.
I keep calling me but they tell me the same stuff. That I need to wait until the talent coordinator reviews everything.
Until I get concrete information on when I’ll be working, I feel that I can’t be happy. That I shouldn’t give myself grace until I know for sure what’s gonna happen.

At this point, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s where the disagreement starts This probably isn’t the last word on it.

Without overthinking it, this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s where the disagreement starts Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s what makes this interesting. That’s just my read on it.

From a neutral view, the direction makes sense but the details are messy so the response doesn’t surprise me Time will tell.

the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage and that’s what people are responding to

From my side, this solves one problem while creating another That part stands out. That’s the impression it gives me.

this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s where people will push back

From the outside, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s what people are responding to Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

Real talk, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s where it gets complicated

To be fair, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That part stands out. Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

the intention might be solid, the rollout less so That part stands out.

On the surface, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so Feels like there’s more coming here. At least from my perspective.

the wording alone shifts how people read this and that friction is hard to ignore

From a practical angle, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here

If you zoom out, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where the disagreement starts

If we’re being honest, the follow-through is what will decide this which explains why reactions are split Curious how this plays out.

Just reading this, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like an opening move, not an ending. That’s the impression it gives me.

I get the idea, the timing matters more than people admit and that tension shows up immediately Curious how this plays out. Others will probably see it differently.
