I start a new job on Monday - what worked for you?

They called on Monday with an offer and I said yes right away. I would rather hear the honest version than the polite one. 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.

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It saved me later.
