new job, back in it, and it looks like i am not on local desktop lockdown!
woohoo.
i have less than plush seating arrangements, but, short term, i am more than willing to trade that for full access to my pc and the ability to install firefox.
i may not jump to chat just yet. we shall see.
i have so much to learn by monday, it kinda makes me want to poop my pants. i think i can do it though. this job has a lot more to it than was scoped out in interviews (read: 28 page exit memo & 250-odd pages of procedural stuff), but it also offers me a really good opportunity to get face time with the people who matter in the techie/exec world.
as long as i can make it through the next couple weeks without screwing the pooch too badly, i should be in good shape.
my favorite part of yesterday was when i had to take an hour-long e-learning course on equal-opportunity employment and non-discriminatory workplace behavior. if i could post one of the videos, i would, but they were locked down super-tight.
suffice to say, i think they used the same production company as the DMV.
probably in PA this weekend, unless bad weather grounds my father’s flight. first tango with Vista home this weekend. i am so excited, i want to vomit.
