laptop

I won a laptop at work this week! However, let me clarify . . .

. . . like all new starters in the company, I got issued a 'hand me down' laptop, an old IBM Thinkpad T42 notebook. Nothing flash, it allows me to get on with business. Since I've joined CSC, we've taken on one more PM, with another PM starting next Monday. Somehow, CSC bought him a brand new IBM Thinkpad T60 notebook to use! My manager came to quick decision that there was no way we could give the 'new guy' a brand new laptop, so decided to 'raffle' it off by putting everyone's name into a hat (except the contractors of course) to see who would 'win' the new laptop. The first 2 names which were drawn from the hat were not present, so when he drew the 3rd name, it was me!

So I was now in charge of organising my old laptop to be reimaged for the new guy, getting the new laptop reimaged for me, and contacting records to inform them of the 'asset reallocation'. My lucky day :)
