I do so thinking about all the other times I'm not allowed to -- for passports, for driver's licenses... And it turned out pretty good. They spelled my name right! But got my department wrong. Tee-hee. Looks like the security people can't keep all the re-organisations and name changes straight either.
Two weeks to settle everything after the official announcement. One week of more office drama than I would have thought could be crammed into one. And finally, I'm here downtown.The funny parts:
1. I've been back to the main campus twice since! I should have just stayed... but then I'd have forfeited a whole lot of steps.
2. It turns out the IT department has the oldest and slowest computers. At least, our area... Um... the one they gave me. The person setting it up for me gave up and went to scavenge for another.
At 3:30 p.m. I had a working computer and phone, and lots of reading to do. The overhead lighting is horrible and I'll likely need my glasses here. But somehow, I lucked out with one the closest things to a window cubicle.
One floor down and across the atrium, there's a little green oasis.
