This community helped me more than I expected after 9 years as a teaching assistant

I wanted to thank the people who gave me practical advice. Any experience at all would help. Two tips made a real difference: keeping a log and asking for help early.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it last year, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
