Why you gotta give the iPad the stink eye?

This is a big MS shop so they don’t take kindly to foreign technology wandering in here. As you may have surmised the iPad is on the list of angst technology. I’m not Apple fanboy and don’t own a Mac and in fact I never liked supporting the bloody thing, but the iPad is wonderful. I love how I can just use it rather than tinker with it. However, the Apple logo is like garlic to this lot and they make cross out of keyboard when I come near. Come on now, can’t we all just get along? It’s hooks into Exchange, it can’t be all bad …

Day 5 – Can I cry now?

I made it to the end of the first week! And I actually learned something! I learned how to do a mailbox restore and how to activate a BlackBerry device. Now, I can’t be left unsupervised and do the same thing again, but at least it makes some sense to me now. Bring on the fancy book learning! Let’s do something else!

Day 4 and my laptop scares me

Ok, I had my fit. I had my bad moment. I’ve come to accept my fate. I sat with a few guys and saw how they do a few things. I had a soda and a cold towel wrapped around my head and feel a little better now. Bloody hell I have a lot to learn. There is so much email and so many cases coming in it looks like the floor of the stock exchange. I can’t make head nor tails about what’s going on. I’m not sure this amount of email is safe. If I can just make it to tomorrow I’ll have completed my first week at work without crying or sitting in the corner rocking back and forth. Hey, that’s an accomplishment. You trying understanding this stuff. And this whole thing of working from a laptop and not having a workstation is a little weird to me. I’m used to having a big machine with noisy […]

It’s Day 3 and I need an adult

You ever get that feeling you’ve made a horrible mistake? This place scares the hell out of me. How the hell am I gonna do this job? I’m not sure I have the technical chops for this sort of thing anymore. My god, I listen to these guys talk and it all sounds like complete gibberish to me. Did I ever actually know what they were talking about? I’m not sure we’re all on the same page about my abilities. I said I could learn this stuff if given some time and guidance. I think they may have forgotten that part of the conversation since I’ve got no materials and no guidance. It’s not my fault I’m stupid. Maybe I can fill the drink machine that is about my speed right now.
