I've had about a month with my new job now. It's definitely a significant adjustment - I am now doing essentially the sort of office work that so many other people do for their entire adult lives, as opposed to the hectic, mindnumbing repetition of fast food or shelving library books. I'd never before used such devices as fax machines or industrial-level copying machines, nor had to deal with the bureaucratic bullshit associated with having one's own government-issued PC at one's very own desk. Which is also new, incidentally. I may only have the standard cubicle and not an office, but that's infinitely more personal space than I've had at my disposal in any previous job (I had a locker and a basket, at the library. And nothing at all at Arby's.)
The work itself is unusual in that I am being paid through a federal grant for a research project whose manager I am assisting. It is thus an entirely new position (something rare in government circles) and it means my duties are as yet ill-defined. It also means I work directly with my boss and only peripherally with anyone else. And that in turn has meant that I spent the last week doing very little aside from reading ebooks, the culmination of a gradual draining of the available work for me. (I am apparently just too efficient and quick.) I am assured things will pick up soon. Hopefully. At least on Monday there'll be a software demonstration I'll be involved with.
My extensive sojourns with ebooks have led me to realize the inadequacy of the homebrew Bookr PDF reader for PSP, which develops increasing rendering errors as one progresses further into a PDF, so I leveraged part of my shiny new salary to buy myself a refurbished Palm Tungsten T3 on eBay - $125, including an addon Zeo Photo Traveler 1.3 megapixel SDIO camera card. I loves it. It's got a lot of neat functionality (massive improvements over the old black and white Palm IIIxe my mother handed down to me some years ago when she bought herself a Tungsten T2), reads ebooks like a dream...and now I have a digital camera to play with, finally. Low-end, a bit finicky, and boy did I have trouble figuring out how to get it to sync the photos over onto something internet-friendly (it does do Bluetooth internet, but I don't.). But it's something.
Something with which I can wow you all with cock shots!
