At 3 weeks in, you don't have the social capital to converse in memes. Memes are also a hazard in the workplace since many are multilayered in meaning and context.
Use. Your. Words.
Your CIO's age should never be used as a "he doesn't get my humor and hates memes." No, maybe he isn't impressed with the new guy who thinks cluttering up the tickets with memes is a good idea.
If you're requesting software to be installed that isn't part of the standard load out or is not on the approved list, waiting weeks or months for a response would be typical. Have you asked around for what they use? What the process for getting non standard software is? And so forth. You may not even be using the correct process or there may be some other issue.
Similarly, IT may not be the right people to authorize your access. They can flip the switch but may not have the authority. Again, this would be a question for your boss.
There's nothing here!
