*phew* after spending about a day to clear up the new office, i finally finally finally got a table. my own superior 'dua' me also lor. i previously mentioned that she was going to relocated another staff so that i can take-over his table right. then she 'chu' pattern and gave away that table to another colleague can! kaos...

heng i got...hmmm...whats the word...ai ya, anyways, so i was devastated for a while but during this while, racked my mind because if i don't, the next thing would be my resignation on my superior's desk!

in the end, i managed to clear up the space where they weren't using and it was dumped with boxes under the table, files, cabinets, trays on top of it to the maximum till you cannot even recognised its a table in the first place.

the reason why it wasn't occupied was because there is no lan point to log into the network when i asked why no one is using it and piled high with stuffs but of course, i asked only after i realised that, THAT is actually a table.

so i checked if its ok to sit there since the 'original' plan was modified to accomodate someone else. and they say as long as i can connect to the network, i can do what i please.

thus, i explored on ways to utilised the existing lan points.

FIRST problem - the patch cord i was using was too short to 'extend' my lan point and the standard available patch cords are 3m in length and any deviation requires a special requisition which takes a even longer time to deliver because you need to e-mail for quotation from the vendor lor. but i can't wait anymore as that would take another week or so sitting at the current sickening shelf.

then SECOND problem - i can't buy my own patch cord because they said that outside patch cords don't work, must order through the bank. and that would be the above mentioned process. STUPID right? no wonder my e*pl*yer is named Damn Bloody Stupid or Silly or Stingy or Sickening bank. (amended 24-10-2005 @ 11.02pm - due to slandering issues, must be more discreet la hor) its all so apt lor!

but HENG, heaven was on my side lor. because i snooooooooped around and saw a extremely long patch cord hiding. i was so excited but not without some people pouring cold water saying that "it might not work you know because that patch cord is for that lan point so cannot anyhow change lan point one ok." wa lau, she thinks she very expert but heng i join a IT company before and got a bit of knowledge ok. even if it doesn't work at the end of the day, at least i tried right?

so i swopped the lan points between anther colleague's pc, my laptop and stuffs (pretty technical here so i shall skip it) and TA DAH, my system is up and running. setup ALL BY MYSELF!

i should have taken a picture before i shifted and i think all of you would be mega amazed by the change from storetable to table lor.

now, i think all of them are jealous of my excellent 'feng shui' seat and i thoroughly love my new office already. it doesn't matter if the place is run down, as long as, i have my own tiny little space!

oh ya, just wanna say thanks to mengli jie because she's the one that thought me how to do the polariod effect above. so nice right! anyone wants the tutorial on that just drop me a taggie with your e-mail and i can send it to you.

happy weekend peeps...
