I made it to work today. And my repaired computer was sitting waiting for me, just like promised.
However, the home office IT department, in their infinite wisdom, decided that they would lock us stupid, computer illiterate people out of the system directory. Which means that I can't install our custom software onto my computer. Which means I still can't get my work done! I just wish they would understand that this is important for us to use and all of our data for the past three years is stored on this server and we have to get to it. And I also wish they would understand that we're not all complete idiots out here and some of us can be trusted to actually be able to do this work ourselves without waiting two weeks for somebody to travel 200 miles to do it for us.
So, now I'm waiting for a callback from the dude in the IT department that got me in this mess to begin with. They just want to be a pain in my ass I believe. But, I guess if they don't want us to actually work then I might as well just go back home then.
