Ok - I am finally in my NEW apartment - no major glitches in the apartment - but TONS of frustrations in the computer/network/internet area
1 - They have a nice - brand new - windows desktop computer - but it is in Chinese - so any question they ask me - which is very often - I can not answer because I can't read - so I take a guess and click on one of the pretty buttons -- I now have lots of flashing ads from some guy named Tommy ...
2. The have Office on the computer but they forgot to authorized the copy (probably illegal anyway) so I can't use it
3. My boss keeps sending me .doc files to open but I can't because the Office copy is not authorized and no--- I can not get onto the Google doc page to open them there ...because google docs is blocked (alone with facebook, blogger, etc etc)
4. They can not hook up my Mac computer to the network - none of the passwords etc will work
5. the windows computer doesn't have speakers - so - either I stay attached to the headset/computer they gave me or I miss any skype calls - no camera either
6. NO WIRELESS as they promised - so once again I am tethered to a desk and a really uncomfortable chair
Only other major complaint is that they only gave me one class to teach -( I start on this coming Tuesday )- and I still have to work on the web page (YUCK) - they promised me I could teach this semester.....so much for promises...
