      First day at new job... waiting for some account credentials.

      First days are always filled with waiting, paperwork, waiting, introductions waiting, more paper work and here's your office.

      Congrats!

      I wish - one of my old jobs was labeled as an "assistant" position and I applied hoping to learn from whoever I was assisting. I had some skills from doing a similar position for a college group, but nothing formal or extensive. My first day was a group orientation going over general employee manual stuff, then we separated to go into job-specific training.

      Turns out I was "assisting" the organization as a whole by being the entire department. My training was "here's the account password, good luck and this is what we need by the end of the week!" My predecessor had already moved on, and as I frantically searched for documentation I mostly just found their plans to eventually write documentation and be there to help transition. Neither happened, so I got to spend about a year straight furiously googling how to do various aspects of my job.

      On the bright side, they were one of my first freelance clients as soon as I left, so I guess it turned out okay 🙂

            @DustinB3403 lol

            Primary router at my work died early this morning and we finally cobbled together an old broken one and got it mostly up and running while waiting on Fortigate to ship us a replacement under warranty

                @DustinB3403 All of my humour oriented braincells are fried from fending off a rabid horde of internet addicted users looking for a fix. I think crack addicts would have been less insistent!

                  What you should've done is run that internet directly into 1 Users desktop. Told them to share it until a fix was produce. And see who comes back without a limp, or missing limb.

                        @scottalanmiller same here, a nagging head / chest cold.

                        I'm finally starting to get past mine, it's been about 2 weeks. It just keeps persisting.

                          Debating the life expectancy of a PATA drive in this old ASUS Netbook and if I want to replace it with a SSD drive or just get another piece of spinny rust. It currently has a 140GB drive in it..

                          Only reason I'm keeping it is for back up and to run in the truck ( the PSU is a true 12v power system, so it will run direct).

                          your netbook has a PATA drive? How will you put a SSD in there? aren't all SSDs SATA?

                          yes they aren't very large,.. 32GB - but they are there

                          ah-HA - Might try to skip by with one of these ..

                          mSATA to IDE

                                          It's an Asus eeePC 1000HE - I don't expect to much. But as PATA drives are becoming more costly,.. it seemed like an option.
