Slow, slow, slow: First Week On The Job (tm) (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

The first week at any given assignment is always interesting and with each assignment it's completely different. Usually it's mostly spent on getting to know people and trying to get all kinds of paperwork done. Because yes, us in IT may gripe about it when others do it, we make the same mistakes when requesting new user accounts :)

So far my week's been pretty good and better than some other First Weeks(tm). So far I -do- have a desk of my own and I even found out whom I'll be working for. Now all I have to do is actually meet the fellow :) I even have a PC on my desk, which is a lot better than at $OTHER-PREV-CLIENT where I never had one and was expected to bring in my own laptop each day.

It's nice to be back in a familiar environment. The building hasn't changed at all and most departments are even still in the same spot. I trekked around the building yesterday and kept running into people I knew from before, so it's an odd feeling of coming home.

Now if only I could get all my user accounts set up so I could get to work! In the mean time I'll just bug people for manuals, documentation and I'll work alongside the team to help them where I can.

Mo. Ving. Slow. Ly. Again... Still... Meh (Kilala.nl (Cailin Coilleach)) by Cailin Coilleach

Feh! I'm stuck in a rut again and it's been going on all week!

I keep getting distracted by all kinds of other chores and shiny things, while I should be focusing on my homework. It's like high school and college all over. Wait... I -am- in college all over :D

Anywho. I managed to finalise my summary for Statistics 1, though it still needs some polish. And now I'm staring at a pile of reports and books that need to be finished by tomorrow.

Slowly, but surely... That's the only way to get through it I guess. *churnchurnchurn* Scratch one item off the ToDo list at a time. I'll start off with Statistics - Didactics. That seems to be my favourite subject this semester.

Meh, this sucks! I don't know what's going on but I just can't get going at a proper pace today! I overslept this morning, my body feels like it just won't move, my typing is -way- off (making much more mistakes than usual and typing a lot slower) and my head just keeps wandering off.

Today's my last day off that I can spend studying for my LPIC-102 and I need to move my 47 page summary from paper into Word and expand it where needed. So I really don't need this crap right now!

As Mr Mudkips used to yell in order to inspire me: Faito! Faito! Gambate!.
