thank god its thursday. its my favourite day of the week and it means that there is only one more to go before we get to the weekend. i have never looked forward to the end of the working week like i have in this contract at the bank. thankfully the weeks are passing by quote quickly now and not dragging on like they were when i first got here.
got talking to one of the unix admins in the lift and he said it was a mission getting all his system access set up when he started as well. he said he got to wondering why they hired and paid him if they were not going to get things set up for him so he could work. my feelings exactly. its a most strange environment and experience at this place and unlike anything i have experience before or hopefully will ever again. this is the end of my 6th week and i have done absolutely nothing. companies usually like to get contractors working and doing something productive as soon as they can, but thats not the case here.
the people here will be screwed if they ever leave this place. the rest of the world does not function like this at all. i would hate to be trapped in a place like this for all my career. its like living some kind of strange parallel universe not connected to reality.
am out in shoreditch tonight to meet up with some friends i used to actually work with, and i mean proper work, in a normal job and company. my goodness those were the days.
