I just saw the video and had to share it with you peeps. I guess that driver needs some lessons to go with his nice car. It would have been better if he hit a police car.
Okay so quickly on to my work adventure. Tomorrow will mark my 1 week anniversary. My how time flies.
Today I had a meeting with the IT Firm my company uses. Sounds like they will be able to help me out. I learned a lot today. I also got some rights that I needed. Tomorrow I am supposed to learn the specifics of what I am responsible for and what the IT Firm will be responsible for.
I’m getting a BlackBerry, A Laptop, A WIFI (AIR) Card, and a Company Credit Card. They are looking to send me on the road - not sure when but it sounds like sooner rather than later. That will be interesting, me driving all by myself to another state. Kind of lonely, boring and I am sure I will be home sick. Today I got my remote assistance account, so now I can work PC’s from where ever I am at in the world. Soon those calls will be pouring in, I just hope I am able to get a good nights sleep!
So maybe this unique opportunity will make me happy after all. I guess I needed some patience. I think they need to feel me out more to know they can trust me. However, in order for me to function effectively, I need certain rights and permissions – in other words trust me now or else I am limited in what I can preform.
I actually worked on a couple machines in the office today, which was nice. Sure beats sitting at my desk and twiddling my thumbs. I think pretty soon I will wish I was bored because I will be so busy the days will fly by.
My partner picked up my glasses for me last night. Today was my first full day of wearing them and I can’t stand them. I’m ready for Lasik, too bad the correction my eyes require is so very minimal that it’s not enough for Lasik. I actually have to wait for things to get worse if I want to have Lasik. Ah, well. I suppose with a little time I will get used to having an extra set of eyes. I mean I see the difference but it’s taking me a while to get used to them, plus one side is digging into my face. I’ve got a dentist appointment this weekend, so no chance I can have them adjusted unless I leave work super early and with this being a new job I really don’t want to ask for more time off.
Last night was nice I sat and watched TV, I plan on repeating that here very shortly. Just a couple tasks to take care of and then hello relaxation. Morning comes way too early!
The gout medicine seems to be doing the trick on my feet. They still hurt and I’m not 100% yet but were getting there.
That’s a wrap on Tuesday, I will talk with you peeps later! Take care.

That's good that you're finally getting some rights and accounts on the new job, now soon you can show 'em how good you are! :-)
Thankfully the meds are helping your gout, that must be painful.
I hate wearing glasses, I need them for reading mostly, and they're a pain in the bum. Maybe yours need to be adjusted slightly so they sit properly and not dig into your face?
Hey Jeremy glad things are a little better for you now with work. I know you will be happy for health insurance at work too. How long until you qualify? I hope to be working soon myself.
Jude - I got the adjustment, but still don't really much care for them. Everyone says to give it time and they will grow on me. Okay, if I have to. I think I did pretty good thought not needing glasses until age 40. I guess age catches up with all of us eventually! LOL.
. - I am rejecting all of the benefits at work. I qualify after 90 days of service, which is when my probationary period ends. I am covered by my partners Health Insurance. The coverage used to be great, now it's just average. It's only $23 a month, not too bad I must say.
I hope that you start working again, it's nice being off but that doesn't pay the bills or give you much of a reason to get out of bed. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Godspeed!
