# I've set up a generic user account on five terminal servers
and nothing else. Literally nothing.

They can't exactly expect me to do anything while they consider whether they want to keep me employed or not.

# *holds out hot chocolate* want some?

# I do fancy hot chocolate actually.
Sadly we have only coffee.

I have to buy curtain hooks today. Isn't my life exciting?

# I've got shitloads of the fucking things.
Bane of my life- For some reason they get out of the box and go walkies around the bedroom.

# it could happen
be sure to sleep with an emergency supply of curtains

# Odd.
We bought a new curtain pole, which is lovely.

We also bought a set of "fully lined, excellent condition curtains" which turned out to be uber-thin and too short for our windows.

We're putting them up anyway.

# thank fuck the new flat comes with the living room curtains
I dread to think how much it'd cost me (the front window is a massive bay thing)

# Yeah we have net curtains in the living room which are fine
but some idiot installed wooden slat venetian blinds in the bedroom, which smack against the window at night in the wind.

# Oh god, I can imagine.
Venetian blinds always look wrong in a house if you ask me, unless it's the study.

We've got a stupid roman blind in the living room of where we live at the moment, and it's such a difficult arse.

# What's the difference
between a Roman blind and a Venetian blind anyway?
(I helped save b3ta! wastedindustry yes indeed sir, Thu 21 Jun 2007, 13:32, archived)
# Roman blind is the kind of folded material swaggy thing
And venetian is slats, I think.

Hang on.

# Fair play to you.
Y'see that's what I want to be doing - not being the arse-end of a project involving nice servers and switches. My job is to set up users. Wow.

It's almost as if I've never configured and built an entire domain by myself before.

# Just start ASSimiliating stuff
Thats what i did - thinking about it i would prefer to be setting up users sometimes....the world seems a much nicer place doing that.

# It can be good
but I'm soon to be fired (probably) for "not taking a pro-active approach in my work".

How the hell am I supposed to be pro-active in setting up user accounts? Give them a cup of fucking coffee?

# you'll have to use your wicked mind powers to look into the future
here, it's always like "oh yes, and by the way, 3 new guys started working in product management today, did you already set up their machines and user accounts?"
how can I fucking know if they don't tell me beforehand? *grumblemumble*
