Job offer came in! - what worked for you?

I start on Monday after a long search. I have read a lot of threads here and could not find my exact situation. 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 got easier once I kept a simple log of every call and form.

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