They placed a headset on order for me!
I discovered the way to go about it is to just ask the woman who’s in charge of office supplies to order one. Apparently, I don’t NEED permission from higher ups or the IT guy in charge of phone systems. Go figure.
I also asked for a new desk calendar and laboratory notebook. I’m gonna be so stylin’ with my new office supplies here pretty soon. I feel like Herbert Kornfield or whatever his name is from The Onion.
Hooray! Subvert the burueacracy!
