My work laptop is evil and should be punished for being naughty. In the past 2 days, it has refused to properly read disks (but, of course, according to Murphy's Hardware law, it worked perfectly when the IT guy came and tested it out) and since last night, all the data on my secondary data partition has gotten corrupted. Nothing major, the file table got currupted. I can rebuild it and should be able to get back most if not all the data; it's just a pain in the ass that a new laptop should be so problematic. It's not too important right now, cause there's nothing irreplaceable on it, but I hope this isn't a sign on things to come.
OK, ranting aside, things are pretty good at work right now. I'm getting to know the people I'll be working with and they seem to be a pretty good bunch. I'm enjoying waking up and going to the office. For most of you reading this who know me well, you'll know that that hasn't happened in a long time. Hell, I get up at 6:45 with Katy and I'm always on time for work!!! That hasn't happened in… close to 3 years. Hopefully, things will stay on that track for a while.
Speaking of the girl, send her some love cause she's in a bit of a low these days. Her work situation is going from annoying to really problematic. She hasn't been paid in close to 3 weeks (she's supposed to get paid weekly), the administrativia monkeys keep losing her forms and paperwork (though all of her coworkers are also not getting paid – it's at the point where some people are forfeiting their rent and her boss is giving money to people out of his own pocket). I feel realy bad for her these days, just cause she sees me with enthusiasm for my new job and she's getting the short end of a stick she really, really doesn't deserve. Hopefully she's going to be getting a ton of overdue good karma, cause lord knows she's had a heap of bad one recently :( I'm doing my best to give her love and comfort and reassurances that everything is going to be ok. I just hope it's enough to get her through this rough patch :(
Ahhh… The Joys of M$ Windows :P
