Minor setback.
Mar. 2nd, 2004 10:46 pmWe've got everything hooked up at the new location, with one little snag: no phone/DSL. And when I say no phone, I mean NO PHONE. Someone failed to tell us that this particular office doesn't have a single operable phone jack.
Seems that until recently this entire cluster of offices was one big office. Also seems that whatever our pair of rooms were used for, phone lines weren't required. A little notice would have been nice...
Well, we needed to wire the place for networking anyway, so as of this moment we've got all the lines we need in place except for the one that counts: our connection to the outside world. That'll involve running one down the hall and to the nearest phone box. Phone guy says that can be handled tomorrow.
Other than that, we're back in business. Not completely unpacked, though -- lots of files and folders boxed up here and there -- and knowing the boss, it'll probably stay that way for a while. (If you're familiar with the Myers-Briggs/Keirsey scale, my boss is a strong P. Who pretends to be a J but isn't fooling anyone; the best he can do in that regard is to plan carefully at the last minute. -_-;)
