Psychotomy

started the new job this morning. took the marc train (commuter rail) to union station. union is between mass and H, and first and first. yeah, it’s between the same street :o

trekked off to 4th & G … except 4th & g is now a residential area and not my government building anymore … i went to the wrong fucking 4th and g! so, turned around, back to union and now the OTHER direction (FYI — from 1st&H to 4th&G is NOT 3-4 blocks. it is, apparently 5 or 6 … don’t ask me. the streets do a lot of weird shit; this is why i’m not driving around that nuthouse)

get to the office, start signing in for visitor when guard realizes i’m on the auth list. she tells me to go to the training room, training started at 8:30 (it’s 9:15 now; woulda been 8:45, but i went the wrong way, remember?)

go up, get to the room and there’s a packet still waiting to be picked up. at least this won’t be awkward :o except the packet isn’t mine? get told to grab it and get IN THERE anyway.

10:30~11 … there’s finally a break, so i ask. while all the civil servant federal benefits ARE nice …. i’m a contractor, am i supposed to be here? surprisingly enough, no. not until the afternoon half (which was the half i knew about, too, so that matched up)

couldn’t DO anything all day. didnt get my computer and securid until the afternoon session. badging office was out of badge-ink or something and couldn’t print badges. yeah, i’ll just sit here then? computer session was kinda muffed up too ; network maintenance meant some of us couldn’t log into our domain controllers! *sigh*

took marc home whee. marc’s decent at least :) bought the month pass this afternoon. figure i’m gonna use it anyway an’ all
