Nah, they're deny me the new equipment I need...
"Here's four computers for you that you asked for, we moved them from the Breccia office. Monitors and keyboards for them? No, you can't have any of those."
Doesn't really need any more explaination does it?

You're asking me to be surprised? I've spent 6 years in the working world, y'know

I wasn't suprised. More shocked that she had the gall to sit there behind a £2500 laptop and tell me I couldn't have any monitors. She doesn't need a laptop, let alone a top of the range teeny travel one.

Ah, but as you say, she's an accountant, and therefore can't complain if the IT department redistribute the equipment to the more needy(worthy)

Ah, not me no. But, my boss in marketing does need a travel laptop for her international jaunts, which would then leave her top range vaio with stupidly large screen available...

All our references are in PDF format too (we have dual monitors) - can't open Acrobat Reader, P/Shop & Illustrator together! Bit of a juggling act
