The operative word in the title is 'at' by the way. Not 'in'. I've been here since 0850, it's now 10.30 and so far I've answered the phone once, and addressed and stamped one letter, which I'll post on my way home.
Oh - and struggled with the computers. We have one of those daft remote server systems, such that you can't access anything unless you're signed in - which is all well and good, if the technology works. Over the past couple of weeks, alas, the laptop on my desk has got slower and slower such that today, it took from 0850 to 1013 to get properly powered up, and signed into the remote server. Or so I thought...
Having decided there was an error on the said remote server (I should think it probably just got fed up waiting and timed out), it then told me it couldn't connect me, and that I should phone for assistance, which I did. They'll get back to me within 2 hours apparently - though I'm not holding my breath just yet...
And we now have the rather wonderful game of it taking forever to sign me out of the remote server - in order that I can use this desktop to sign back in! Hence, I have nothing to do - and right now, that's not good, as I really don't feel good in myself, and I'm desperately in need of something to take my mind off it.
But, these are the present-day realities of work in the social care sector. I think I might just have to go and put the kettle on now!
