Slick Operation

[d000hg]

Just landed at new clientco. Door to door 9 minutes in total. The walk from the car park took 5.

Pretty big car park if it takes 5min to walk across!

disguised employee!

Were all disguised employees.

But your disguise is the equivalent of this:

Shocking. I look forward to at least a week sitting around at the start of a new contract, completely unable to do any work or log in to any systems and having to be escorted everywhere. It's all part of the deal.

I had that once. After a quick hello with the director it was off to get my photo taken, badge issued and create the relevant accounts.

It had never happened so fast before, nor since, and it turned out to be a brilliant contract with lots to add to my CV.

Bloody hell. Talk about organized!

Not to blow me own trumpet or anything but when I were a techie, like, all my new starters always had their brand new (never old) kit configured and ready on their first day.

I worked at the head office and new starters would often end up spending time at other business units' offices and eventually would become part of that business unit at which point their IT would be migrated - this company had different IT setups for each business unit!

On a couple of occasions, when I would ask the employee if I could make the arrangements to migrate them across to their new BU's network, they would refuse (in a nice way) as they preferred the IT support that I gave them because it was more efficient.

LOL, You know, the "people are looking at you from across the office" type of LOL.

There's probably an app for that given the new camera.
