Accepted an offer after 12 months - 12 months and counting

I start on Monday after a long search. It has been weighing on me all week. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. What helped you in the first month?

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

Congratulations! Take notes on names and processes in your first week. It helped me settle in.
