So its my very first thread from work.

I work at Fred Hutch Cancer Research Center as an office assistant. It kind of sucks, but eh. I go from working construction to wearing kaki and polo shirts in an office, its a big change.

Anyways here I am working on a spreadsheet of which assessments go with which research grants and its pretty boring. But I'm out of my normal office so I'm in a confrence room away from my boss, which is why I'm on the forum

I'm bored...

Oh, and I got screwed out of my computer and am using a crappy P3 notebook

[Electric_Head]

Me too!! Except I'm rocking a Dell D620 Dual core 2Ghz centrino with 2GB DDR2 memory and a widescreen

NOW you will see why my post count is so damn high.

And Electric Head, you suck! I've got the D610 and now have laptop envy!!!

[Electric_Head]

We just got in the D620's today actually. Previously I was rocking a D410. Damn fine machine, we even got the Biometric sensor so I can logon with my fingerprint. Now its my job to setup 16 of these beasts by the end of the month and the damn system analysts havent even made me an official image yet!!!

Yeah, I used to work in a Real Estate office, and now Im in construction. Big differences, I prefer construction. Office shit is too boring for me.

This computer is so slow it really hurts my productivity. And touch pads suck... so do low res monitors..... and no freaking scroll wheel!!

[Lord Kain]

shit lol... at work I hook a mouse on my lappy helps a lot

[ninefivezero]

I don't have one!! Otherwise I would of course.

You have a real estate license? or are you going to be an assistant/secretary type person?

The trick now is finding and asking the person who could actually procure you a mouse. Within 10 feet of you there is probably one sitting in a drawer. Have you tried blowing the IT guy? I give out more hardware that way...

[Jackalope]

if that doesnt work, I've got a laptop mouse (remember the free one MS sent out?) Ill send ya, provided S&H isnt too much

[ninefivezero]

Got one from IT, so its all good.

haha, my boss is on the other side of this notebook screen

So he enjoyed the blow job then?

[ninefivezero]

He was waiting for me, mouse in hand as soon as I got out of the elevator, what can I say, I'm just that good.

[Mr. Ali]

congrats on the new job!

anyway, i got a ibm T60 dual core today. im currently using a T42 and will eventually use the T60 as my main computer. I originally had the X41 tablet but that was slow as balls and i dont really like tablets anyway. the t60 screams with speed and the fingerprint reader is better on this then the x41t because of its positioning. i finally get to join the dual core bandwaggon!

[gB dAvId x]

so ali wont you have to return that laptop fairly soon anyways?

[Miller]

i worked in a office for a year, now i'm IN construction. (in his vin diesel voice) AND I'M NOT GOING BACK

[mistawiskas]

I love working construction. Right now I'm putting log cabin siding on a doublewide mobile home 30 miles up in the mountains. I couldn't take the politics and close quarters of an office job....there'd be a killin'.......sooner or later there's be a killin'.

[ninefivezero]

Yah, I kind of like working construction, I like being outside and hard physical work.
