New Job advice
So I just accepted a job as a fabrication trainee. I can weld but to get my foot in the door this is the route I have to take and I’m ok with that. Im very excited for it. I’m 40 (almost) and I’ve been in an office setting for the last 15 years. The last six being work from home. Needless to say, this is going to be an adjustment for me. Graveyard, 52 hour weeks, 40 minute commute each way. I wanted to see if anyone had any advice they could give. I’m racking my brain on things I’ll need, I have gloves and boots and welding stuff that I’ll be taking but I’m honestly wondering about the odd stuff that no one talks about or even lunch boxes. Stuff that makes your day to day easier I guess.
