Working

[den]

So ends my first day at the office. I spent most of it learning the job tracking system, sitting in a nice A/C office for most of the time. Just as the day hit 39C a truck load of PC boxes and CRT monitors arrived, so I ended up out in the heat lumping heavy weights on a trolly. Some genius in Sydney thought it was okay to shrink-wrap a pallet of unboxed monitors, and packed them by wrapping them in bubble wrap (ooh! Poppy!) and standing them on their ends--50% face down, 50% face up.

The destination store room was on the 4th floor. Elevators are your friend, but it meant we coulfn't pack more than 3 monitors on the trolly or they wouldn't fit through the doors.

So I'm a bit tired.

Tomorrow they'll let me install a CPU.

Is sweating your nads off in the hot sun part of the CCNE test battery? ;-)

Not horrible for a first day really, deoderant stress test aside. No heart attacks, and the promise of AirCon tomorrow, and a paycheck on Friday. Ain't so bad if you ask me :)

Bravo Batty!

That's the Real World Batty. The Penguinistas are living in a fantasyland really. MS has near 100% domination of the small to mid-sized business world. Only in .com and .edu land do you find much *ix.

Remember to populate the switches with a the helper IP of the DCs if you are running VLANs (which you really ought to be) so surfing the behind the PIX lan for shares and printers works reliably.

CYa!
