I am done with my day of travel. Amtrak sucked. The trains were older and in worse shape than normal. When I asked the conductor he said that the normal trains are in use on Acela since those trains were down for maintenance. Something about the “elite” route gets the good trains! The train was late 20 minutes going up, and 45 minutes late coming home. I should be used to it by now, but I am not. On a plus note Amtrak’s automated IVR was awesome. I understand why they won all sorts of awards for the voice responce system. Hey I deal with telecom, network and VOIP gear most of my day, so hearing a good IVR actually interests me now. Some people look at nice cars, I admire IVR’s. No one ever said I was normal.
We got 10 users downstairs. Kai had issues with the other group of 10 they wanted to move. Turns out the electrical guys didn’t plug in a conduit so a bank of stations didn’t have power. that set us back enough that we didn’t have time to finish moving users today. They should still meet the deadline of friday to have half the users downstairs.
I also dealt with issues regarding our upgrading our cage at our data center, and canceling circuits in NYC. Also design woes about upgrading our circuits in our call center. I have been busy with our telecom provider to iron out all the issues. More meetings with them tomorrow!
