Turn and face the strain

I started my new job yesterday. I'm working on a PC, my department is bigger than the whole of my last company, and in an effort to not look like such a slob, I'm on a whole new pencil skirt and heel kick. Things are different.

At one point, I realized my computer didn't have printing capabilities set up and so, like all marketing professionals, I started to google "Add a printer to PC".

Then I stopped and got IT to do it for me.

This was a big moment because it means in this job, I'm not IT.

It's the little things, like not having to toggle between multiple interfaces while dry heaving because a presentation is frozen on the screen and no one's saved it in 4 hours, that really make life worth it.

Happy Weekend!
