It's always interesting encountering unexpected situations.
After a long relaxing Easter weekend, I've returned to work and am in my first Deadline week. *cue ominous drum roll and nail biting*
As I type this, we (at work) have been experiencing virus activity, (Malware to be precise) which is slowing down the company network and internet. This last week alone there were over 1.9 million attacks according to our IT department,and it's made me wonder...who hates our company that much, or to rephrase that: Who has that much spare time?
Currently I'm trying to edit articles, upload adverts and learn (in general) how to be a good editorial assistant. It's challanging and fun but I'm also starting to stress out just a wee bit.
To Elaborate: I'm meant to be able to access a certain program which (IT) was meant to have loaded on my machine (and hadn't), and now they've changed the network drives and I can't access any of the other work I have to do (Cue pulling out of hair). *Sigh*
It's very hard to be thrown in the deep end of things only to have a curve ball come your way leaving you floundering. I've spent the last hour and a half waiting for my machine to be free so I can work. (Although I won't complain too much about my nice extended lunch break ^_^)
I'm very lucky that my Editor is understanding, but it's hard to impress her if I can't show her what I'm doing!
Only two more days till weekend...I can make it!!!
