Not me. Watched a nice sunset, got reacquainted with my friends and relatives, listened to some nice music. A nice respite from fighting the @$#%&^&% CTD bug.

Post by: Drifter1234 on August 22, 2002, 09:43:44 AM: One of the few nights i get to fly during the week that is grief-free. Because my wife's favorite show "Big Brother" is on. Last night was a two hour special. I was excited all day. Thought i was going to fly for two hours without the interuptions of evil stares and snide remarks.

BBBUUUUTTTT NOOOOOOOOO the game was not up.

Like getting stood up on a date with a super model.

God I hate it when that happens.

Or, somewhere in the HTC server room, Pyro unknowingly yanked the extension cord ;) (Recall in The Naked Gun 2, he cant defuse the bomb in time, so he runs, trips over an extension cord and the bomb is unplugged and stops? LOL)

Post by: Skuzzy on August 22, 2002, 01:10:51 PM: AT&T and Verizon decided to play, "Wire, Wire, Where's the wire" with the connection last night.

You wouldn't believe the conversations I was having with AT&T.

Anywho, yes, the CT/TA/DA arenas will ping better, as the last remnants of AppLink customers are gone now.

Oh,..by the way,....Hi! Guys/Gals! :D

You can get muted for using obscenities like that in a public forum.

Post by: deSelys on August 22, 2002, 03:05:46 PM: Skuzzy, it looks like they're lost without you ;)

If I was you, I would go by the man who's (mis)typing in blue and I would discuss the wages :cool:

Thanks for your help

Post by: Skuzzy on August 22, 2002, 03:20:18 PM: Thanks guys.

Puck, you would not beleive the conversation I had with AT&T's top tier support person.

AT&T: I can loop the CSU. Looks good, must be on your end.
Me: How can you loop the CSU when the smart jack has no power?
AT&T: No errors, looks good from here.
Me: No errors huh? How about now?
AT&T: Still looks good.
Me: Funny, I have pulled the smart jack from the cage
AT&T: Odd,...but still loops good.
Me: Do you know what a smart jack is?
AT&T: Well, according to the build-out, you have a RJ-45X.
Me: No, there is no extended jack. We have a smart jack and this is a 4 wire build-out, not a HDSL build-out.
AT&T: That is not what it says here. .....Still loops good.
Me: I do not know whose T1 you are messing with, but you might want to stop, or you are going to get more support calls from that client.
AT&T: Well,...I need to check something. Let me call you back.

That was about 9:30am yesterday. Fianlly at about 1:00am this morning, Verizon figured out what the problem was. I do not know what monkeys AT&T is hiring these days, but I have never dealt with such an incompetent moron in my life at that high of a level.

Gotta love this buiness.

Post by: Wlfgng on August 22, 2002, 04:39:40 PM: Skuzzy I know exactly what you mean.

I have 4 T-1's here for the town I live in (very small resort town.. like 1500 people off-season.

It took over 9 months to get Qwest to install it.. they still didn't do it right (I had to rig some lines myself) and if I call the C.O., they can't figure out which circuits are mine, or if they work, or what they're for, or which number is which, etc.

on CSU's forget it. I get the same thing "looks good on my end". while I tell the idiot that the csu is in my hand without power.

AT&T isn't hiring. It just buys out other companies and lays off the most expensive ones - and guess who was getting all of the promotions and pay raises during their careers. Yep, the ones that knew what they were doing.

Gotta love life after deregulation.

Post by: Skuzzy on August 22, 2002, 05:04:50 PM: Well Furious, I am just trying to find a job. Apparently, my marketable skills are in low demand right now.

12 years marketing
22 years networking
20 years UNIX administration
9 years UNIX systems programmer
18 years C programming
7 years WEB site development

and sundry other tidbits. It overlaps, so don't add it up and try to figure out my age. :D

Wlfgng, I hear ya. Any of the big LEC's are pretty much the same. They seem to like it that way for some reason.

I think you are right gofaster.

Malaysian Monkeys on Crack. The same ones that Broadwing hires.

Global Crossing hasn't provided us access for three months, but they're still sending us bills. I get to pop the head of my (former) account rep like an over-ripe pimple tomorrow. Should be in a perfect mood by the start of the TOD.

Post by: humble on August 22, 2002, 05:35:39 PM: LOL....

I have an XO T-1 with a 50/50 voice data split....we kept dropping our voice and data...everything kept "testing" fine....till the over due bill hit about $ 8,000. Seems that was a magic number to tech support. finally tracked down a bad repeater.

No techie....No checkie
