New Job

Well same job, different person paying for it. For about 4 months (will be closer to 5 by the time I actually start) I have been contracting for a company. Today the official offer comes in with a significant pay increase, plus bonus, plus 4 weeks of vacation (prorated of course, but that is still just over a week remaining in 2010), and paid holidays.

It couldn't have come much sooner, my car started acting up last week and I have a feeling that a new one will be needed shortly. This will be my first salaried position, which I don't mind. I think it will be a nice change of not having to play the numbers game. From time to time I do end up staying 10-15 minutes late, and then I have to try and work that out with the time card. Not anymore. Sure, on the one hand I'm working for free. But on the other, I'm still making more than I was so no complaints here!

Congrats! And I know what you mean about staying a little late. I'm having so much fun at my new job that I have to force myself to get out on time... Pretty sad, but I could not ask for much more.

Started the new job. Exactly the same except for one problem.

The conversion process isn't a smooth one. Monday I came in to find my old account was disabled and a new one was created. Except the new one didn't add me to any groups so I couldn't do my job. After complaining, rather than add me to groups they just disabled my new one and re-enabled my old one. Whatever, at least I can work.

With another system, they deleted my account, but didn't create a new one.

With another system they gave me my new account (which gives me access to HR payroll stuff) but didn't give me access to reset passwords. Luckily they didn't kill my old account so I can still work with this.

Not sure why its that hard but oh well. Apparently this happens every time a new contractor comes on board. The good news about that is that you can send a couple emails and then people start working on it. I should be good as new by the end of the week.

Thanks. As of right now everything is squared away. I'm sure I'll run into other issues when I try to do something I used to be able to do.

Congrats! I can definitely relate to the pains of provisioning.....HR makes employees wait a week before you can get an ID card. All the BS will subside and you'll get to it!
