Title: Working Late
Post by Paladin on 06/03/05 at 18:04:19

I work 7am-3:30pm with a half hour lunch. It is 6pm, I am downtown LA rather than in the Torrance-Gardena area. There is a cart with three servers, a workstation, UPS, etc. all waiting for me to connect them to the DSL. Noel is sitting here with a frown on his face trying to get the DSL circuit up and working. It works with his ID, but if we use the customer's ID it will not route traffic. I get to START reinstalling the equipment after he is done.

Hang in there! I hope you're not there too late.

Yesterday my time card read 8-8-4 (regular-extra-premium.) Today it was 0-9.5-9 (one hour of time an' a half with 8.5 hours of doubletime.) 25.5 hours total over two days.

But the Service is 100% up. My part. The other part was moving three 'phone lines. The cut was called hot at 5pm friday after JPL closed down. 5:15 we get the word it's done. Didn't work. Ends up that the T-carrier channel units were not installed. Not available either. Client is frantic, I'm telling her the move is going better than expected. They have all day Sunday to get it up and the word has been given in the right places that it WILL be working by 6am Monday.

It is amazing what can be done when enough pressure is applied.

No. But am busy with family. Helena is visiting from Arkansas for a few days. Monday, 6am, is when they will be trying to get the system up and running. Told the client I expect a call at 6:30. :P
