I am trying to swing it, in any case I realize now that my concerns about the bonus were completely unfounded.

I felt similar in a job I resigned from a while ago - it's a strange feeling. But then the new paycheck comes in and you get over it real quick :) Two out of three people wonder where the other one is.

It is a small country where everyone knows everyone else, the people I am leaving now may be my colleagues/bosses in the future. I asked the new company if they mind delaying my start by 2 weeks, if they say no then that's it, if they say yes then I will stay.

The early Romans had more gods than I have had watery stools.
