This community helped me more than I expected, event coordinator here

I have read this forum every day since I lost my job. Two tips made a real difference: keeping a log and asking for help early. What would help newcomers most?

It is nice to see a thank-you post. Keep going.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 4 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
