Finally my computer is up and running again. The temporary solution to my longterm problem was apparently to move desk - to take my laptop and sit somewhere else in the office. The "somewhere else" turned out to be my former boss' desk so now I enjoy a window view ladies and gentlemen! The technician who set this up yesterday just wandered into our part of cubicle heaven and I, seeing the answer to my woe, launched myself at him and wouldn't let him go without fixing my computer troubles first. He swore a lot, but he pulled us through. Apparently all the ingeniousness the Italians don't spend on say, fixing the debilitated infrastructure or the corrupt politics, they use for swearing.They talk about bodyparts and fornication habits which seem to include not only relatives, but dead relatives. It was fun to watch all the native Italians in the office wince at torrent of words all brought forth by in "internal error or incorrect ipconfig" or whatever.
Work is OK. I've started the mental count-down to the end of my internship; can't really tell whether I'm looking forward to the end or not..
Ciao people
