Boot up my company laptop to get my daily workload. It said I had nothing assigned. This is good, means I can get work done.
First was a meeting with the new bosses. Joy and Nina. Both 30+ year Teleco, both know me, know I take care of my customers as they have been my customer many times over the past 20+ years I have been in OCS.
Then over to the "A" building to snip Vera's phone lines to the second floor. She moved to the first floor. Last Tuesday I ran her phone lines to both desks. "Whenever you feel like moving just unplug your phone from here and plug it in there and it will work." Check today, she's not around but her new desk looks like she has moved in. Go upstairs to see if her old desk is completely moved out.
DUH!! Not only moved out, but a new person has already moved in. Velma. Hmmm.... That's the order that hit my desk this morning, due on the 17th. So I lift Vera's lines off her old cable and move Velma's lines on. Always good to do two jobs at once, saves time and effort.
Check my e-mail as I had a request from the LAN designer for clarification on a couple of printers. Have an e-mail from Gene, his printer is not working. A while back they stopped giving printers fixed IP addresses. Instead they get an address from the DHCP server and it is made 'sticky' to the MAC address of the printer. For some reason it slipped. Read the new address from the printer, reset the print server to point to that address, request that the new address be made sticky and they can have the old one back. Call the maintanence vendor to update their records.
So far not a bad day's work for having no assigned work. Will get to the LAN implementer's request after lunch.
