New Job Changelog: Day 0
Today was my first day at a new job. I’m the only operations guy minding the deployed and deploying production environment for the place. Not even replacing a previous operations staff; this is green field territory, more or less.

- Found out how to file a helpdesk ticket and filed one for the three inexplicable halts the MBP experienced under light use.
- Filed a helpdesk ticket because email sent to me was being delivered to a co-worker.
- Learned that the resolution was going to be swapping a whole new MBP for the one I had today, so I’ll get to re-install that software all over again.
- Got setup with the bugtracking system (Jira) because I’m going to need somewhere to track work and it’s already in place.
