2009 | 1 month ago I’ve been at work — temping — all day. It was my first day so I was trying to feel out how they’d take to me not staying on task. Although I had nothing to do for the last three hours I was there… anywho.
Chile, let me tell you about my day! If you didn’t know, I do temp work at Georgetown, right, and this was my first, like, office job, so I show up relatively on time — maybe a couple of minutes late because of that damn barista at Saxbys — and the guy is like, “Do you have a Net ID?” And I’m like, “This is only my third assignment, I don’t have one.” So he’s like, “We can’t work until you get it sorted out.”
So I walk across campus to the university services folks, right, and I’m like, here’s my ID, let’s make this happen. So they reset my password, right, and I head back to the office, try to log in for the next… 15 or so minutes and it didn’t work. And my new boss is breathing down my back, like, “The temp office needs to get their act together, I can’t believe they haven’t been checking up on stuff like this, and OMG why can’t you log in?” and I’m freakin’ out on the inside, and then he’s like, “It shouldn’t take this long, call those tech people back.” So I did, and they told me that they couldn’t reset anything without looking at my ID again.
I had to walk back to damn university services, they reset my password, and apparently it was something wrong with their system because they did it again and I had the sense to sit down at a computer while I was there to make sure the damn thing worked, and THANK JEEBUS it did and by the time I had my user and password all sorted out it was 10:30.
I was also a little late coming back from lunch and I started nodding off in the last hour I was there.
Terrible.
My one solace is that my new boss has an affinity for the word “Damn.” I think we might get along.
