Discombobulated....

Today has been a very off day for me. I've switched teams, hours and desks. Of course, not everything goes smoothly - it never does. Oh, I'm not saying it went terribly wrong, either....just enough to put me out of sorts.
It started at about 4 am this morning, with Pookah screaming her displeasure of loosing her binkie. That continued every 20 minutes or so until I actually woke up to get ready for work. I left the house early to be sure I was here early, so that I could set up my computer.
Traffic was great, but the computer wasn't cooperating well. Argh. I can recieve email, but I can't send it currently. It's thought to be an Outlook error, which means MIS is going to have to do something with it. It also means that I can't port over my pst files - you know, the ones with email in personal files. Not like I need that info or anything. I can't get jabber to work. I even forgot my own logon to our knowlege base ~*whimper*~
On the bright side, our main program works better from this station. Most applications do, actually. I like the desk better...and I'm already moved in. I have my 'collection' placed on the shelf, pics of the kids up and even a comic someone 'gifted' me :)
My body is dragging because I'm not used to these hours. In the long end, I think I'll like them better even though I'm up earlier. I hope traffic is going to be better on the whole - hard to judge by today because yesterday was a holiday.
I thought I'd be warm up here, but I'm not. I've spent the last half of my day shivering. I'm by a large bank of windows....which I'd take over the door any day. I have my blanket here, and I think that once I get warm, it'll be easier to stay that way. I have to remember to bring in a sweatshirt too - I don't think I need my jacket per se.
Its not a bad day, really....just an off day.
