The Office Phone System: Telephony for Phonies

How does one sign onto a phone? Is there an administrative telephone number I should call, then enter my old password, change it, etc? Won't someone centrally update callup for everyone at once? No one but my girlfriend ever calls me here! Unless they want to talk to the purchasing dept., which isn't me. That always kills 'em. Knocks them out of their freakin' chairs. I say "No I don't need to buy 300,000 pounds of silicon." and they laugh. Ha ha ha. "We're selling building services, sir. hee hee" Anyway, back to planet earth. The phone has been a disaster, at least in my "useful phone calls" categories. Of course, whoever I call, that's on purpose. It's very functional in that regard.
