a computer. there are bunches of computers here that i can use but a lot of websites, personal email, etc. that i won't be able to get on. this site is sometimes spotty as well. i also use my phone to Netflix watch and podcast listen.

I had this problem when I started this job. Fortunately, they moved me closer to the exec team on the other side of the building and I picked up a signal over here. I'd get one of those things that ppl use on planes that don't have wifi.

ya just switch to verizon
sprint's 1900 mhz spectrum doesn't do well in building, verizon uses more 850 mhz that (obviously) penetrates walls much better.  yeah sprint has 800, we all know that, they just don't have much of it.

At my old job years ago Sprint sucked at one end of the building and lots of us had Sprint so this one lady called them and they gave her a box thing to bring in and plug it in and then we had awesome service.  Maybe try that?

you can buy repeaters.   They are $500+ though.   We have one for an office here.   If it's not a work phone, they probably wouldn't like you installing it tho...

Just install like 300 wifi extenders from your house to the new building.

If you can catch the wifi signal from a neighboring company, bribe one of their employees for the password.

They have tons of Internet. Just in my area alone we have around twenty computers and only about six or seven employees but doing what you suggested is not an option.

So you finally got a boss?

Funny you should ask. The guy that has been my boss for a few months introduced himself today and asked my name and what I did to make sure he he the right person. Then he asked me if I ever had to talk to my old boss much. I said no and he said ok we can just keep it like that then. That was the extent of our conversation.

I was going to say that it wasn't weird at all and then stopped to think about it. I guess it is kind of weird. Like, there are less than 30 people in the entire United States that can say they have the same exact job as me. So kind of weird but also kind of not weird.

proabably the same jobs that are everywhere else. Medical jobs, law jobs, accountants, teachers, etc. I'm from mhk so it's maybe not as weird for me. Dunno.
