WWTBAM Bored

Trying not to get to panicky here. Not been a good day at the office.

Between balky copiers (they suddenly decided to turn on the security functions, which means we have to punch in codes that nobody knows) and updating MS Outlook (internal thing, but the instructions they sent out must be from a different version), I was already frustrated enough with technology.

Then I get an email invite for an econference all next week.

To train the folks in Austin TX on how to do certain tasks.

And I get to be the trainer, because its all the tasks that I do.

It's been a good run here (I'm in the fifteenth month of the six month gig), but it's a helluva way to find out, assuming it's what I think it is.

[Good news -- I still haven't figured out how to access the roof.]

Yuk!

What is it you do, and from where? Looks like IT infrastructure support from what you just posted. Correct? Where are you based?



On the up side...at least it appears you are training U.S. based workers.

No, I'm an accountant in the Richmond area.

I've already contacted my "pimp" at the agency. I figure I'll have another month to be there.

Sorry if it's bad news. If you come to Austin, let me know.

Sorry, I'm just training folks who are in Austin, not going to Austin. WebEx meetings and such. Fortunately, things are hyperorganized here, so once they know where things are kept on the hard drives, it's just a matter of going over the mechanics and the nuances.

They were most concerned about the building leases I oversee in Quebec; I simply said "Google Translate is your friend."

Finally was able to talk to the boss (she's perennially in meetings) and verified what I feared. She said I'd probably be here through most (if not all) of April for quarter-end close (and, tacitly, to look over the new folks' shoulders). So, this'll give my "pimp" a chance to churn up a new gig.

Good luck with the new search, SS.

Sorry it had to end, but as you pointed out, it went on longer than you expected. Now that you've established a good rep with the company, maybe something else will open up before the end of April. Funny how that seems to work sometimes.
