We moved office today. If you've done this, you know what it's like. Brief period of chaos, then everything gets fixed and you settle down in your new quarters and things go on much as before.

Yeah. That's if you're (a) not the lead technical person in the company and (b) it's not a phone company.*

All in all, it actually went smoothly enough. One of the frame relay links isn't linking, half our outgoing lines didn't go out for a few hours, and half our direct numbers didn't get switched across at first. Fortunately, it was the half we don't use much, so we only realised this when we found that we couldn't receive faxes any more.

Oh, and of the three redundant internet links ordered for the new office, a total of zero were installed on time. That led to a certain amount of scrambling.

And my carefully assembled package of rack-mount nuts and bolts got misplaced, and when I unpacked at the new site I found I had a grand total of two of the little clip-in nut thingies, out of several dozen. I have an electrician coming to install some patch panels at the new office tomorrow, and he's going to have a hard time doing that unless I manage to scrounge some more nuts.

* Admittedly, it's a small phone company, but the principle is the same. When you're a phone company, you can't just close for a couple of days.

1 ...he's going to have a hard time doing that unless I manage to scrounge some more nuts.
Heh. Hehe. Hahahahaha.
I think I'm going to take quoting out of context as my new hobby.

2 My sympathy.
Try moving an ISP that handles every major bank on a tourist island with an in-season population of over a million (and yes, we did move in-season). That was fun.
Humming the tune to "Night Moves" the whole time...
And sleeping for about 24 hours after we were done.

3 And we still had screams from late-night ATM users, even though we did most of it in the wee hours. Sigh.

4 Did you find your nuts?
If they are those clippy things you need for HP racks then I have some in the bottom of my toolbag and I can drop them off...
