So there I was shaking the hand of someone who I had no idea who he was. It was just now when I met the director over our division. I called myself a "newbie" and said I have been here 2 weeks. I had no idea who he was. It was when he started talking about our operations all over the world that I reasoned he must be important. No one ever announces role anymore. Also since higher ups also wear jeans and golf shirts there is no way to tell them apart. It is weird. I remember when I met the MSD director over the IRS at my last place. He was in from Washington DC and was wearing a temporary badge. I said stupidly,"Ah a new person." I like to give a good impression to the superiors, but since I have no idea who my superiors are I can never make that jump. I'm not really a brown noser. Actually I am kind of the opposite, but I do like to know the order of things. At the moment I think I have 4 bosses, but I am not sure. We're all the same. It is a cool job. So much better than the IRS. I'll probably give this one an 8 out of 10 whereas my last one was a 3 out of 10. I plan on staying till my contract runs out, which will be in December. If I do a good job they may even renew it. It's kinda funny though. I wonder if I insulted him by pretending he was some network guy. I was about to ask the director if he could replace my computer, thinking he was the standard IT worker. I dodged that one...

Thought of the Day

Milton Waddams: [talking on the phone] And I said, I don't care if they lay me off either, because I told, I told Bill that if they move my desk one more time, then, then I'm, I'm quitting, I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were merry, but then, they switched from the Swingline to the Boston stapler, but I kept my Swingline stapler because it didn't bind up as much, and I kept the staples for the Swingline stapler and it's not okay because if they take my stapler then I'll set the building on fire...
