It took me 3 hours to learn that I had never been entered into the system... so no computer, no credentials. Contract agency blamed the client and vice versa.

A week later I have access to my email, but no computer yet. I just learned that I have to go through another round of background checks. I just did this with the agency, but I have to do it again because the client is in the defense industry.

The job has started and I am being paid... so thats what really matters.
