They've only bloody gone and norsed it up, haven't they? Came in early yesterday morning expecting to crack on with my work and knock out a good solid performance during my overtime session, but I was met with a revamped PC and a couple of sheets of technological notes to support. What happened was this:
The IT service department decided to update our computers to the latest "European Image". I'm not sure exactly why they wanted to do this, but now that it's been done I can't access half of the stuff that I would normally have been able to get my grubby mitts on. All this means that I have been professionally castrated, unable to carry out my normal job role. This has left a sour taste in my mouth, and don't let there be any mistake about it. Everything was working so well, why did they have to go and fiddle around with it?
The first thing I noticed was a rather horrible new desktop background. I quickly changed this because it is appalling. And also it was painful trying to read white fonts on a white background. After this, I saw that all my old desktop items had been done away with. This angered me, so I hopped on the bad foot and did the good thing. Sorted.
Then the printer drivers were all messed up, so I fixed that. Job's a good 'un. I also re-organised all my quickstart icons and the like, but it's still not to my satisfaction. You could say that I spent the entire morning session - running up to lunch - undoing all the hard work that the IT department had put into upgrading my PC. I didn't get anything else done.
I also sorted out problems with other people's computers. I should be getting paid more for all this IT support. It's really gotten my goat, as you can tell.
