After having breakfast and re-reading my whiney post of this morning I decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and get off my arse and take my mucusy body into work. Screw the virus, I'm back in the game and this time, I brought my chakram.
An update on the new job:
Now Also Haves....
- In and out trays (space age plasticy goodness)
- Voicemail (I now know how to tell when I have a new message)
- Colour printer (installed and configured and eerily quiet)
- A box o' office paper (for printing, darts and temporary door labels)
- My own mail pigeon hole (with a punched label and everything)
- A pile of branded envelopes (with the wrong address on them)
- A pile of 'With Compliments' slips (ahem...also with the wrong address on them)
- A network password (sigh)
- Internet access (sweet, sweet internet)
- A salary (which makes all the Have Nots worth it)
- A new found understanding of which lightswitch does what (and there was light)
- Discovery of a nearby kitchenette that has Macchona coffee (and it was good)
- My sanity (despite the 1 3/4 hours it took me to get home tonight)
Still Have Nots...
- Cellphone (maybe them not being able to reach me whenever is a good thing?)
- PDA (I predict using it everyday for 2 months then never again)
- G3 card (it'll be swaaaweet once I get it)
- Email address (this one is really irritating)
- Personal drive on the Network (go the Desktop)
- Staff ID card (hey HR...if you hadn't paid me then I'd be yelling "You suck!")
- Staff parking permit (man I wish it was summer)
- Keyboard (tappity tappity)
- Mouse (I want my Back button!)
- Laptop bag (you'd think it would have come with the lappie right?)
- My health (but working on it)
I think my emphasis on telling helpdesk I'd been here 15 days and still didn't have things sorted, kinda put things in perspective for them. That and the menacing tone I seem to have because of my husky chest infection voice.
