This journal is getting boring
Here's an interesting glitch.
I started a new job on September 2, 2005. It took until today (November 18, 2005) to get my business cards. But by this point, I've probably met everyone I will meet before I transfer to another department next August. Then I'll just need new cards, and I'll likely not have given out any of the ones I've just gotten.
Also...
When I got here, my office was in a terrible state. The worst set-up imaginable. So I called the furniture moving people to come and arrange to move it. Two weeks later, they made an appointment to come and look at it to see what they could do, notwithstanding that I already knew what configuation would work for me. The appointment was for a week and a half later.
The day of the appointment came and went, and they didn't show up. A week later, they apologized, and said to call them later on and they would come. This eventually happened about three weeks later.
They then said that they would be able to move my furniture in about a week and a half. About two weeks later, they sent me an email telling me that my "request for moving services" had been approved, and asked me for a bunch of accounting codes. Luckily, they had cc'd the administration goddess in my department and she took care of it that afternoon.
That was three weeks ago. I'm still waiting for an appointment to have my furniture moved.
I'm sure it will probably happen the day after I transfer out.
