Vacation over, back to work. Spend the morning clearing out my voice mail and e-mail. Check the GCAS, have three work orders due. Call the contact for the requested LAN connection at the Adams office -- she's on a two week vacation. Call the Adams Frame, she goes looks, the conduit is not yet in. Cannot run a Cat-5 cable in the C.O. without a conduit. (I asked why not, just run it in the cable racks. Nope -- has to be laced/wrap-tied into the rack and the lace/warp violates the cat-5 specification. Not allowed to pinch the cable or bend with less than a 1" radius. So the client has to go thru Real Estate to have a conduit run placed from my hub to where they want their connection.) So I kick that order out another two weeks. Two more orders at the Western Ave. Call Center, already completed.
All caught up, head for Western and punch down the last of the cables on the backboard. While I was gone, Avaya tested dialtone to their 66 block and I will meet with them tomorrow to sign off.
