A long day's end

Song of the day:
Machinehead - Trephination

It's been a long day, probably the first in a long series; but it's also been an almost frustratingly unproductive and inefficient day.
Having spent the time between 10:00 and about 18:00 at the office, I hate having to admit that I hardly even got through one set of testing. On the other hand, I had plenty of other things to do before I could really start: first, I didn't have a laptop and didn't even know what the test instructions were looking like, then I spent about an hour with the HR woman which included signing my contract of employment, getting an introduction to the company, being shown around the office, being introduced to all the people (including the CEO), then I went for lunch .. and then when I was just about to start working, we realized my laptop needed lots and lots of updates, that took way too long and way too many tries before they had all gone through. And then it was past 17:00 already, my two colleagues (the girls) had left already and I was challenged in a game of pool; which I horribly lost. :|

Ah well. Now that my laptop's been set up and updated properly, I shouldn't have any problems diving right into work first thing tomorrow. That's the spirit, eh? ;)

Anyways, some quick snacks and an episode of Lost on my nice and shiny company laptop, then I'm off to bed ... which I am not allowed to keep; but it's a Fujitsu-Siemens, I wouldn't want another one of those anyways! ;)

Ta-taa.
