haven't blogged much this week. i guess ive been busy. work is going well, getting used to the hours (still tired when i wake up at 6:30 though). the only thing that kinda sucks is that i dont feel like i can make that much of an impact yet. like, the biggest thing i do is to make sure the printers work, replacing toner/ink, installing drivers, etc. while that may seem lame (ok it is), its pretty important to this group as all they care about is their printed out works, whether they are plotted or hand-drawn or ink-jet printed. so thats gratifying, slightly. there are bigger computing issues id like to tackle, but im swamped by these pesky day-to-day things and, frankly, its not in my job description. i would like to transfer to some other department that has more to do with infrastructure, but who knows how long id have to wait for that. i like my job for now. plenty of room to dork around with stuff, blog, etc.
