Day 2: Still waiting for access. Wasn't all that productive. Went into a meeting. Still need access to processes.. or do I just build from scratch at this point. On one hand I want to send another follow up email for access cause I don't like being unproductive, but I don't want to come off as pushy. On the other hand, I could just build it from scratch even though there could be existing processes and systems. Kinda hard to do my job when there are so many roadblocks.

Is this what working for a normal company feels like? I've done fuck all, I'm bored, and I might just start looking for my next role LOL. I'm so used to hitting the ground running, working at 300% for 8 hrs straight, that this is so boring to me.

Sounds about right. Longest it took was about 3 weeks to actually get a real first task.
