This is one of those PABX installations I would remember for quite sometime. This building has some very strict Rules when it comes to renovations and equipment installations. Suffice to say, some of the contractors there has been blacklisted and they stopped all work for a day (originally, it was three). This means that everyone's schedule has turned upside down.
But luckily for us, being the phone guys, we're still on schedule. So, for today, we're to mount the system only. Tomorrow, its terminating the cabling, commissioning the Telekom lines and system programming. There ware a few snafus but it was not our fault:
1) The put in the shelves which was a bit too tight for our system. In the end, there was no space for the electrical contrator to install the electrical points side by side. I had to tell them to install them on top of each other.
2) Unfortunately, the contractor was not there and promised us that it we would have power tomorrow at 12 pm.
3) The Streamyx Guys told the customer that they need a fixed line and so did the people at the counter. Unfortunately, when the real Telekom Engineers came they said it was not necessary since the line the customer subscribed to was SDSL and not ADSL.

Not only was the shelf a tight fit, someone dumped a bigger shelf in the room and we had to really squeeze ourselves in
Its 1930 and eveyone was working like mad to catch up with their schedules
Because we had less than 19 days to do this
They can't get CAT 6E cables so they settled for CAT6 instead
They're really planning for the future
