Job : End of Week One

Job.

Week One

Fail.

Yesterday was the end of my first week of work. As you can see in the title, it didn't end like I would have hoped. The entire first week went super great. I was busy all the time, I'm getting along with everyone, I'm getting so much accomplished, then Friday happens. Isn't Friday considered a bad luck day?? I think it is. I tried to stay positive all throughout the day as these terrible things were happening. Being positive, only brings in positive, right?!

So, I'm guessing you are wondering what in the world happened to me???

Well... I didn't get fired if that was what you were thinking. And I probably won't. It wasn't my fault!!!

Well, here's my story:

8 am: My morning begins at work. I walk in, the office that I am sharing with my boss (The owner of the franchise) is working a different area until 10 am. 

8 am - 830 am : I'm looking through sites to find flowers for an employees funeral

8:30 am: OMG! I realize I have to find 5 plastic bins that can carry hanging file folders within an hour. I hadn't even begun the looking process. AND I need to find the exact one (good luck)....

8:45 am : Bingo - found them. Office Depot here I come. Thankfully it's right around the corner.

9: 00 am : I get back and start working on putting them together. I look at my phone and realize I have 20 minutes to finish them all, and guess what..... I'm 20 file folders short! Not to mention, tabs and inserts for the tabs.

9:30 am : I rush into the account office and beg the girl to give me some of hers.

10:00 am : DONE! Boss walks in, doesn't even need them. WHAT?!?! I have a bad habit that when someone tells me they need something, I think they need it right away. I need to start asking for specific times.

**Boss leaves for a mini vacation at 10 am**

This isn't the bad part, BTW. Just an idea of my stress I created.

11:00 am : Just before I order lunch in for everyone, I want to get some last minute documents scanned in to my bosses Scanned File Driver. I knew from the beginning of the morning, thanks to Caitlin, I couldn't get into the Shared Access Driver because of some problems. So I figured it was okay to get into the scanned driver. So I get in there, and as I'm changing the name of the file, I realize on my other screen in one of my folders, there's a file called, you got it, "Porn". I freak out. I rush to our technician and ask him to come to my office. I show him the file, and he freaks, then I freak again. The tech launches a virus scanner on my computer which takes an hour to finish. (Oh by the way, my computer is linked to my bosses... yippie). So every time we run the virus scanner on mine, we run it on his. 

12:00 pm: Lunch is in, virus scan is complete.

The tech comes in, and we can't get a pop up (the virus) to go away. He does something and restarts the computer and it's supposed to be fixed.

12:15 pm : Computer reloads, and I'm trying to do things on it, the pop up won't go away. Every time it comes up, I can't do anything. The tech comes in and we re-run the virus scanner.

2:30 pm :  Doesn't fix anything, we have to fix it again, reboot, relaunch app, yadda yadda.

Did I screw my computer?!?!

At this point in the game, I won't even get on my computer. Too scared. So the last run, I just do manual work.

4:30 pm : It worked! I think? Once the virus scan is done, he runs a new application, which I think was to get rid of the viruses. I ask him if now I can get on to finish up before I leave at 5 and he gives me the ok.

4:30-4:35 : I sit and stare at my computer, afraid to do anything in case I mess something up.

4:35:4:40 : I try to access the internet - no internet power. I try to access my email, both monitors start rapidly flashing, email shuts off. 

4:40 - 4:45 : I sit there stunned. What did I do now?!?! I watch the new application do it's thing. All the sudden, it says it's deleting all my files. oh my goshhhhhhh.

4:45 pm : I inform the tech I'm leaving for the day before I I burn the office. He goes in the office with me to check it out, and freaks. I freak. 

End of the week. Friday. 4:45 pm. Computer - Dead. Porn Virus. Amazing.

Let's just clear this up... I didn't initially get the porn, it was passed to my computer through a shared program.

To top things off, I come home and share my eventful day with Rob, my mom, and sister. No one else found this humorous but Rob. He gets me. Only I would somehow we some weird porn virus on my first week of work, and give it to my boss.

A couple hours later, I sit on the couch to wacth movies with Rob. *RIIIIIPPPPPPPPPP* 

My favorite jeans rip, right up my butt.

The End Guys.
