A productive week

I am amazed! We actually got work done and not only a timely fashion, but without too many stupid people tricks. All the idiots must have crawled back under their rocks. I was so happy!

I even got the filing system under control. I gave in and put the current system in a box and started all over. New files, new folders and I think I ran the labeler out of tape.It was so nice to get things in order!

Of course, my quiet didn’t last. George and Kevin finally wrangled that contract for the new T-1 where no T-1 has gone before. Since we weren’t sure when the T-1 was coming in, we had to be ready to go deal with it the moment AirStream called. Our location is a hotel outside of town and we had to go wire it right then and there. The T-1 coming in will supply not only the hotel, but the truck stop across the highway with wireless. I helped run cable and was the gopher for all the parts the guys needed while up on the ladders. We went through a whole box of Cat5e.

I’m in the office today because after all that fun, we had some clients to reschedule. And while Monday is a holiday, we will still be working to update the network while we have a “quiet” day.  hahahahahaha

Doctors and dog food and Cat 5e Oh my

Today we closed the office as George has to go back to see the doctor. We went out to see if he gets his arm out of the sling. Of course, the appointment came and went. Typical hospital. 25 minutes after we were suppose to be with the doctor, the nurse came out and let us know that the doctor was stuck at the other hospital. So, we get to take a 45 minute drive north. New appointment at 3:30pm. Wheeee… I figure this is revenge for yesterday. We had to go in because more cactus had worked it’s way to the surface. ewwww!

So, we are combining our run north with other chores. One of our clients is having a new phone line run and she wants Cat5e. This way she can have multi use for the line. We are grabbing dog food for another person and an ink cartridge and toilet paper for another customer. With the price of gas, we have tried to make our runs as profitable and useful as we can. I teased George that he could always open up a taxi service if his arm didn’t heal. He just smiled and reminded me that I’m the one driving.

Lunch is over. Guess I’d better get behind the wheel.
