1st day on floor proper
Well, it's that time, and it's about damn time. I finally got to start working "on the floor" proper... which means in my team, with my lead and my manager. The only problem? I came in and didn't have a desk, we found a desk. Then I didn't have an extension, they gave me a temporary extension to use to sign on to the phone until they get me my permanent extension. Then we ran in to the problem that I still don't have access to one of the most important components of the mainframe program we use - the letter writing utility, so I've been on the phone with Data Security and the company that wrote and supports the mainframe app we use for 25 minutes trying to get it set up.
Now, this wouldn't be all that terrible, except for the fact that this is the second time I've called, and the Administrative Assistant, who is in charge of sending down the requests to have all of this set up has sent in three requests. The last time she had to send one in, she sent a copy of it to the Senior VP in charge of our division of the company. And it still isn't resolved. So now they're supposed to have it fixed in about 45 minutes to an hour.
Yay...
