Powershift

Things are a bit slow this week for me, at least as far as ideas for something to blog about. I guess I can tell you about my new job working for Powershift, Stowe's very own ISP.

I'm off to a bit of an unusual start. First off, it's been hard for me to access the Internet to blog. Mostly because I don't have a computer yet. Of course, for the first week and a half it didn't make much of a difference because I didn't have a desk to sit at either. I took care of that last week myself, by walking into the open office at the front, drilling a hole in the floor and mounting a small flag in the hole, declaring the office - Beebeland.

The next day I brought my laptop in and was able to access the Internet, even though I don't have a user name or password to access Powershifts intranet. So now I have my own laptop to go with my own little country of Beebeland, and at least I can respond to emails and such without going to the library.

My sister, the nurse, got a laptop, pager and desk on her first day of work. I, the IT tech, have got nothing. Hmmmm?

Since today is Wednesday and I will be off on Friday to return to Media to get my Toyota and other stuff, this will be a short week. I'm betting by the end of this week I still won't have a user name or password to log on to the intranet (with my own computer).

I did get a phone yesterday, but there is no sense in answering it, I can't field support calls anyway - can't access the ticketing system due to my lack of ability to log in.

It would seem that there are a few bugs here at Powershift that need to be worked out. I guess I got here at the right time. I only hope I stick around long enough to fix a few of the problems....
