Today was my first day at work - actual work that is, rather than sitting around being talked at work. Unfortunately, I can't actually do any work until I learn M204 (crazy old database system that nobody uses except Centrelink and the NSA - and anybody else who wants an incredibly hardcore database that SQL can't cope with). Luckily Centrelink is sending me on a course (or three) so that I can learn said crazy database system, but not until September.
I did get a mug though. Complete with minties, fantails, a Tim Tam and the necessary ingredients for a cup of coffee or tea and a glass of Milo minus the milk. I also got STATIONERY. Like you would not believe. I have paper clips, staples, bull dog clips, funny paper clippy things, two different kinds of sticky tape, post it notes, three colours of pens, a pencil, a rubber, a sharpener, a ruler, sticky note things for marking your place, an in tray, a notepad, a hole punch and a desk calendar - with daily quotes.
Unfortunately, I do not have anything to do at work. I tried reading the ISIS Survival Guide, but, I am afraid to say, had my life depended on said Survival Guide I would not now be blogging away for your entertainment. The hour after lunch was almost my undoing - I suspect that falling asleep on your first day at work is frowned upon, even in the public service.
It's not my fault I was so tired though - I went to bed early last night, after a BBQ and a quiet game of Monopoly with me and seven of my new friends.
I have some pictures that I feel would enhance this missive, but, alas, the cable for my phone is in storage.
Until next time.
