4 days in and still not PC in sight....

How are you going to do that if there is no PC which has been allocated to you yet or no PC in stock?

Check if someone has left and their computer is not collected yet. Have you been to the "empty" stock room yet. I was at one place (Germany) that didn't deliver the PC as they had no UK keyboard, told them I had my own, fixed! Check if someone needs help etc.

You will get used to this sort of thing, can you bring your own laptop to do some doc etc?

What the others said.

Gentle reminders once a week on the missing equipment (show you are keen to get going), don't nag, don't whinge, help others, smile, invoice.

Good luck.

It's like that bit in Trainspotting where Renton is telling Spud that he has to make it look like he's trying to get the job so that his dole won't get stopped. But he can't try too hard or he might get the job.

You have to appear keen, so that they know you're not a waster, but not too keen otherwise you might have to do some w*rk.

Are you a permitractor?

What's wrong with your LtdCo laptop?

I had this once but was given special permission to use my own laptop.

as the others have said, can you not bring in your lappy and get it approved to go on the network ?

What did I say about not being too keen?

There are many reasons why all the above is not possible. I'll let you use your imagination to figure out why...

Indeed, only 1 client in the past 20 years would allow kit that they hadn't built onto their corporate network and that place was a total shambles.
