7:35 to 7:50 Wait for computer to boot up. To save time, Get coffee and gossip while waiting.
7:50 - 8:00 more gossip, talk about WoW
8:00 - 8:15 read email and meeting invites. cry because of how insipid it all is, especially the meeting invite for 2-4pm from the big boss saying he will explain what is going on since our supervisor was fired last week. TWO HOURS? ugh
8:15 - 9:00 IM with coworkers, plan for meetings, eavesdrop
9:00 - 9:15 smoke break when team meeting is canceled because our supervisor was fired, and now big boss is our direct supervisor.
9:15 - 9:30 screw around reading xkcd in a coworkers cube and speculate on agenda of meeting with big boss later.
9:30 - 10:00 research prices of digital voice recorders to record big boss's speech in the 2 hour meeting later
10:00 - 10:20 meeting where people discuss obvious things and create a process which violates all best business practices for IT. Hear coworker say (when asked who we report to now) "no one" when two other coworkers simultaneously say name of big boss. Suspect that coworker will be the next boss just because she is so dumb.

11:38 - 11:42 read email about using a patching agent to deploy another patching agent, which is like using Google to search for Bing
