With another interviewer for Wednesday morning but I'm nervous it may be cancelled. Not sure how to get over this feeling and focus on my work today. Uurrgggghhhh!

Don’t react until it’s actually cancelled

Sometimes the interviews running short is a good thing - maybe they didn’t need to hear anymore and had to run? Unless you just completely know that you f’ed up - don’t worry about it.

I for sure thought I failed a case study on a fairly simple math question and still got the offer. 😎

I applied for a job at my current company and was rejected. Didn't even hear back. Fast forward a couple of years. Recruiter reached out for same title role, but with a specific team/project in mind. Was a much better fit and I rocked the interview.

Not saying youre not going to get this position, just saying there is always other opportunities IF it doesn't workout. And sometimes you just have a bad interview. Learn from it and rock the next one.

Is it worth going back into a dumpster fire w/ no leadership to gain experience?
