Jan 26 - Yep, that's what I did today

Just another day at the office, even with the printer grief!

I start out the day with a call in from vendor #1 coming in to service their demo unit.  While he's doing that, I place a call to #2 about poor printer quality.  Since I can't get ahold of #2, I leave a voicemail.  While leaving a voicemail for #2, I get a call from #1, and it goes to voicemail.  Check voicemail, call back #1, and #2 calls me back at the same time.  All in all, we arrange to ship out demo from vendor #1, vendor #2 comes by with some new toner and does some calibration work..  all in all, it's about 11 AM by the time this mess is done.

Which leaves me about 5 hours to finish up 4 Windows 7 migrations.  Awe-some.

Instead, I bust out the Page-A-Day Paper Airplane and work on getting caught up.  Hence the January 18th calendar page.

But really, no, I didn't make paper airplanes insteaf of working...  but there are stages of the migration involve a lot of waiting.  So, while I'm waiting for 4 machines to do their thing, and I'm done with printers, I might as well take a bit of R&R and work on my fleet.

I found out today that we're possibly branching out to another location, so I've more or less been tasked to get things connected out there.  I guess I get to learn a lot more about the VPN/Firewall solution that use (which is actually owned / managed by our parent company).  Oh, and a bunch of telephony stuff that I've never really forayed into either.  Should be fun!

Tomorrow - Back on transit, I think.  Today's drive around the city in the rain and icy roads was enough for a bit, so I'd rather just let someone else do the hard work while I slouch in the seat of the LRT and drool on myself like everyone else.

I'm looking forward to it.
