    I've been struggling with the onboarding process at my new job as a shift supervisor at a retail store. I applied about a month and a half ago, but it took me three weeks just to get through all the required forms, mainly due to needing a photo ID. Last week, my manager informed me that because of the delays, they would have to start me as a store associate instead, which is a pay cut of $1.50 per hour. Today, while texting her about some login issues, she suggested that starting as a store associate would be best so I could prove myself before moving up. She also mentioned that she appreciates my questions but prefers I only text when absolutely necessary. This has caused me a lot of anxiety because I don't want to make a bad impression before even starting. I feel like I've frustrated her by asking too many questions and even overshared about my personal life, which I now realize might not have been appropriate. She asked if I could start on Thursday or Friday instead of the planned Sunday, but when I inquired about the change, she reverted back to Sunday. I’m worried I’ve already messed things up and I'm unsure how to proceed.
