Previously on "Dispatches from Permieworld - Week 1"
- Still got a temporary pass that I have to get renewed on a daily basis, because the "system" that issues permie passes has "run out of ID numbers".
- Did some inane money laundering training seminar and was rewarded with a company keyring to show for my successful effort.
- It took 3 different desktop people 4 days to get me logged into my telephone, and then I moved desks today, so I will have to repeat this process - inevitably - on Monday.
- New boss has gone awol since Wednesday.
- Oh yes, nearly forgot, did some work, that's been sitting on an enhancement queue since May. Took me 1/2 day and I'm still trying to find someone who's remotely interested in using it.
Highlight of the week was getting the company keyring. Definitely.
Thanks for the update
IIRC this gig is very very well paid so just count the coins and roll with it.
