I start a new job on Monday after 12 years as a welding apprentice

After 10 months I accepted a job as a welding apprentice. I do not usually post, so bear with me. It is not my dream role, but the pay is fair and the people are kind. Any advice for starting over?

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.
