But I'm about to be employed for the first time in a year, in a (mostly) different line of work. I'm more than a little nervous. Everyone I know tells me not to worry about it, that it'll be fine. This is the only place I can say "Hey! My memory's fucked up and I'm scared as fuck that I won't be able to hold down a job!!"

But other than that, yeah.
