Another fresh start to the week

Overall today was alright, not the greatest of days but equally not the worst of days...though I feel like I wasted a lot of my day today. Though it wasn't really on purpose it was definitely not intended. Spent a good bit of time goofing off and not attending to task (like my blog, working out, washing cloths) that I should have been. Tomorrow I plan to have a different mindset and get things done properly. Without too much more complaining time to go over today. Don't plan to cover the weekend as part of it was eventually while the rest was kind of blah.

Got up at a reasonable hour today and made it to work 5 minutes early. I definitely did that much right. From there the rest of the work day was a bit more productive but on the same accord not so much. I'm still lacking accesses to actually do work so I had to use a co-workers computer to get the task done. I've listed to my manager the access I'm currently missing but all they do is give me names and tell me to pursue the answers myself. While this is great and all that there tasking me this responsibility, its really this kind of stuff that should have been taken care of prior to my on boarding. As a result I'm missing out on some hands on experience and ability to apply what I'm learning. However today I was able to get some hands but on another co-workers computer. As a result his probably fallen slightly behind and I've only gotten a bit of my work done. Equally there's 2 more tickets (total 4 now) that I have to attend to...bit silly.

Compared to prior work experience this is probably the worst on boarding process I've had as it pretty much seems like no one has any knowledge as to how to add new people to the system. Its probably due to the fact that they rarely higher outside the company but you think that if your a Fortune 100 company that these basic systems would be in place, guess not. Aside from that the rest of the work day was alright. The only other set back was not bring my MP4 player or a book to read in the down time...mostly the MP4 player portion as there was a solid hour where I was re-reading documentation. Oh and i forgot my work notes...That's about it work wise.

The drive home was fairly quick but slowed down a bit at one portion. Once I got home I played some HoN and lost several games in a row which at that point I just zoned out and watched TV, check news, procrastinated and etc. Ironically enough though I'm still on par for going to sleep and getting about 7 hours of sleep tonight. I'm going to project for 8-9 tomorrow and be a bit more productive. The other reason I don't think I'm getting as much done is I moved my computer over to the other room and it usually yields to a decline in productivity...at least it did during my vacation. I don't plan to move it tonight but I'll do it first thing tomorrow... tomorrow won't be lazy gonna get as much crap done as possible. Have a small I want to nail out and some goals to being work on. That's about it for now gonna swap out the cloths to the dryer and head off to bed.

Nite all.
