My first instruction!!

Getting settled in your cube or office
If there is no chair, borrow one from a conference room. Then contact the Workplace Resources people; they will get you a less fancy but more adjustable one. It may take them several days though. If your conference room chair disappears in the meantime, just go borrow another one. You have the right to sit down.
If you don't have a computer yet, twiddle your thumbs a few times, then go to lunch. In NB, there is the food court, but it's kind of doubtful, although the restaurants on the upper floors are ok. Better yet, wherever you are, just ask your co-workers to suggest a place to eat. Or look for write-ups of local eateries on the web. If all else fails, get in your car and drive around aimlessly.
If there is no name tag on your cubicle, just wait. One will show up in a week or two. If you just can't wait, ask your manager to ping the process.
I guess working in a new company has its advantages!

Permission Denied
Apr 2, 2007
Four years of BITSian life has made a man out of me. I do not get desolate when my favourite team loses a match. I do not get hysterical with emotions when I do something out of the ordinary. Hell, I do not feel even a dimunitive smidgen of remorse when I do not complete my assignment.
There was a time, a bygone era which few highbrows love to call their "wonder years", whenI used to shudder and even holler in dread at the very thought of missing a deadline for my homework. But now I am a man. I do not despair when I do not complete my work. I brazenly reproduce the work of my comrades, notwithstanding some skillful morphing.
Today, as usual, I was least bothered about submitting my PLCC assignmnet II until my groupie turned up, as always in a chop-chop fashion. So I sat down and morphed the code of a prodigy who still lives in his "wonder years". After four excruciating hours of strenous labour I pressed the "enter" key to submit my assignment. The screen immediately flashd a message :
Permission Denied
Four hours of precious time wasted, hope shattered, morale hit rockbottom.
This I take as a message from the almighty himself. I am a man and to show the right path to a faithful soldier of humanity like me The Lord himself has transmuted into the prithvi server.
I take the word of lord as my command.
Thou shalt not submit thy assignments
