Smooth Sailing
Well, so far, so good. I’ve survived most of the first week of my new job. (For those of you who are joining us a little late, I just started at Kirby Marine Transport Corporation on Monday of this week.) I have a whopping three employees, one of which leaves for vacation next week. The network doesn’t quite run itself and there’s more than just “proactive maintenance”, just like I suspected. For one thing, I’ve got an e-mail system that looks like it was designed by a drunk monkey. Now, I’m sure there was a really good reason to have three e-mail post offices in the corporate HQ, but I have no idea what it could be. Also, I have at least one server that has wholly inadequate drive space for it’s one e-mail volume. That’s a fire that I’ll have to put out, right after lunch. On the upside, I have a nice, new office that has a wall of windows and a door and everything! This may not seem like much, but after surviving a bankruptcy, it’s like heaven. And I have three really nice *wood* desks. My PC is a laptop, which isn’t really all that great, to be honest. The damn thing locks up all the time. But, all in all, the new gig is pretty sweet. I’ll keep you posted.
