09/21/2009: "First day of work"

Today was my first day of actually pretending to work. I say pretending, because until some higher ups process some paperwork, there's a very limited amount of stuff that I can do. I managed to answer the phone a couple of times, and tried to politely explain to someone why his idea for taking a computer out of the office wouldn't work unless he did some extra work first, and that was about it.

Oh, I did a little bit of work, but I had to keep waiting on another person to keep entering passwords. I hate not having admin privileges.

And there was a limited amount that I could even shadow other people on account of almost everyone in my office was in a class, and will be all week. This could be interesting - people just *love* having the person answering the phone telling them that they can't help them, and all of the people that can won't be around until next week. *shakes head*

I'm sure it'll get better.
