My partner that's supposed to be working with me in the lab is out sick today, so I'm here alone. In the dark. (Well, I didn't turn the lights on in this part of the lab (I don't even know where the switch is) and those of you that know me will know that I like working in the dark or in subdued lighting.) I'm digging this. I'm just worried about actually doing work in here today. So far, I have not got an official security ID badge for this facility. That means I don't have any way to get back into the lab if I have to leave to, oh let's say, go to the restroom. I have no accounts on the network here, which means I have no access to any of the help desk systems. In a nutshell, that means if there is a server that needs to be built & shipped or just a drive that needs imaging and shipping, I have no way of getting that information. I have no email access as well.
So, I'm alone in the lab, cutoff from my cow-orkers (I've always liked that spelling!). Hopefully I can keep busy.
