Full Time

[revena]

Today is my first day at the office as a full time employee. One of my big worries about this shift has been that I'm going to be bored out of my mind. I don't really believe that one could file for an entire day, even if there was enough filing to be done that such a level of activity could be sustained. I'll be getting some new responsibilities, is what I hear, but that sort of thing takes forever around here, and I'll have to avoid going insane in the meantime.

So far, boredom hasn't been an issue, though. I spent the morning alternating between filing and setting up my new computer (ohgodthemonitorissosexy), with the added thrill of spending a little time under my desk unscrewing the much-hated keyboard tray. Which Robert said I should just throw away. Damn, but that felt good.

In future, however, I will not wear a nice skirt and boots to the office if I expect to be spending time under my desk. It's a bit awkward to make sure that everything stays decent and family-friendly when one is so dressed.

So what's the day been like for everyone else?

Yeah, I'm waiting on programs that are installing (SLOWLY).

Umm... Are you using system one or system two?

[pirate-attaxx.livejournal.com]

i guess system 2.

In system two, it's pretty easy to do things like pick custom colors for everything. Just go to http://www.livejournal.com/customize/ and pick a layout you like and then go down to "change individual settings" and click the button for customizing. There'll be a few different tabs, and you can see where to set different colors and fonts and so on. If you pick a layout that supports it, you can put in a url for an image instead of a color, for the background. One layout that allows for that is "The Boxer", which is the one I'm using here. Another is "Variable Flow", which is what I'm using at judyths.

I pretty much just felt my way along by changing little things, saving, and then seeing how it looked... That's probably the best thing to do. But let me know if you've got any more questions.
