you know they sent Federal employees home after the Oklahoma bombing to work for security.
Since many don't have secretaries anymore, they got them laptops, and said
do a home office. Well, in addition, they do NOT allow them to deduct expenses for the home office either. We have to pay for the separate phone line, the fax, and other expenses.

If he has to get a dedicated line for this, I will be soooooo mad! We will have to foot that bill too. The new computer is a HP...state of the art. 80 gig, 2 gig RAM, it is nice.
But they won't let him use a screensaver other than Windows, and he is not supposed to even have a personal "wallpaper" (but his old one came over during the drive transposition on Thurs. He has some obscure new program for reporting, and it is failing too. (everyone's is acting up tho).
There are so many rules ... they absolutely just GAG you!
He has a wifi... but it is deactivated and they won't let him use it in public...because of security risks. blah blah ...
He has already been downtown 3 days this week...with this conversion. I guess it is not over yet!

And oh, they didn't give him a new printer cord...and the old one doesn't fit, of course, so he can't print either.

But on the nice side he got a new carryall bag on wheels, docking stations, keyboard and mouse if you don't like
the laptop keyboard. (shrugs shoulders)
