Accepted an offer after 14 months - 9 weeks in

After 14 months I accepted a job as a barista. It has been a long 9 weeks. 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 14 months ago, and it got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

Well earned. Ask questions early, even small ones. People liked it.
