Title: Why have I not been online
Post by: Porter on July 13, 2011, 11:16:32 PM
Lot's of reasons and some bad excuses too.  Line drive to the right leg that almost required me to go to the doctor...  another volleyball re-match against my vb player (we didn't get smoked quite as bad), rehab for a majorly hurt rotator cuff.  This stinks.. .

Work more work and more work.  Not getting much sleep either... and then today...  icing on the cake...

14.5" of water in our phone room.  Phone switch is shot.  No phones on campus.  I'm not "technically" over our phones since this is a POTS system and not VoIP, but guess who is over making sure it comes back online...  yeah that would be me. 

I've been at work since @7 I believe (my time at work is becoming dilluted right now) and I'm going to sleep for a couple of hours and go back.  My wife has told me I should just move in at work.  I'm there more than at home.   I don't even know how many hours I've worked this week, nor do I want to know...

Oh yeah, and it that room above, we just had 440 volts of live power under there... the guy that dumped the sump pump in went in bare footed!!!  Crazy!!!

I owe a lot of you pm's and will respond.  I'm going to sleep now and will wake up soon and back at it.  We figure at least 2 days for the switch to dry out and up to 2 weeks for this one to fire up and work....

Well that room looks back to normal now, but we are drying the phone switch from all condensation right now.  Kind of nice and quiet with no phones! 

I suggested we stock it yesterday.  Lots of cover and fish could grow very large!  Nice place to kick back and relax!
