Work

I started work today although I'm still not technically hired. They're still waiting for the results of my drug test which was only supposed to take 24 hours to get back but is now taking longer. I have a cubicle to myself which was a pleasant suprise. I'm working on a software team at HP which consists of four other people and myself. I have three computers. One Linux box acting as a server, one run of the mill HP consumer machine to act as a client and one HP Pavilion to be my computer for e-mail and what not (maybe posting to this if I'm bored). I was able to screw up already and crashed Windows on the client computer and for some reason couldn't restore it. So I had to find a Windows CD and re-install Windows. Other then that it was a pretty uneventful day. Tomorrow I go shopping for routers and software packages.


P.S. Be wary of getting HP computers. I say this because they don't include Windows or other backup CD's. They instead have the HD partitioned and you can do a "Destructive Recovery" from the HD if something fails on your computer.
