8:45am
New guy's PC finishing booting up. Tell I'll create new ID for him. Set minimum password length to 64 characters. Go grab a Coke.

9:30am
Introduce Louie the janitor to Marvin. "Nice plaids.", Louie offers. Is this guy great or what?

11:00am
Beat Louie in dominos game (This guy really sucks). Louie leaves. Fish spare dominos out of sleeves (always have backups). User calls from Accounting to say that Accounting server is still down. "No problem I say.", as I untie Ethernet cable from radio antenna jack on stereo (better reception) and plug back into Ethernet hub. Tell user to try again. Another happy customer!

11:55am
Brief Marvin on Corporate Policy 98.022.01: "Whereas all new employees beginning on days ending in "Y" shall enjoy all proper aspects with said corporation, said employee is obligated to provide sustenance and relief to Senior Technical Analyst on shift."

Marvin doubts. I point to the "Corporate Policy" database (a fine piece of work, if I do say so myself!). "Remember, that's DOUBLE pepperoni and NO peppers or olives or anchovies!", I yell to Marvin as he steps over open floor tile to get to the exit door.

1:00pm
Ooooooh! Pizza makes me so sleepy.....

4:30pm
Wake from refreshing nap. Catch Marvin scanning want ads.

5:00pm
Shift change. Flick HR's server on and off several times (just testing the on/off button for continuity). See ya' tomorrow.
