I start a new job on Monday after 18 years as a teaching assistant

After 2 months I accepted a job as a teaching assistant. I worked as a teaching assistant before this. I could not have done it without this community. How do you handle the first week?

That is wonderful news. Keep applying for a little while if you have not signed, it is a good habit.

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.
