System installation @ IMC

I am going to have a very busy weekend. One of our customer is expanding and they're moving out of their current office and into two new offices. This means we would have to dismantle their current PABX and relocate it to one of their new offices. As for the other office, they would be using a new system. Funny thing is, and it is always proven, that an existing Toshiba customer would always stick to Toshiba. Anticipating pricing concerns, we quoted them the new Panasonic KX-TDE system but in the end, we were not surprised they took the Toshiba system which was dearer by another 25%.

Anyway, we were happy because despite the Economy hassle, we still have some business. So, i would have to be at two sites to make sure both systems are up and fully operational by next Tuesday. This would mean travelling to two places almost 20 Kilometres apart (I think). And with the rate things are going (tables not ready, phone points mislabeled and incomplete sections) we might have a lot of problem completing the two installations. So, I might be working through the weekend and Deepavali.

The day before, we have mounted the system
and terminated all the necessary cabling. But
because the furniture were not ready yet, we
held off terminating those affected area.

This morning, after receiving the new phonesets,
we plonked them onto the van, to be delivered to
the new officein KL.

As you can see, everyone is rushing to
complete their deadline or there would
be no Deepavali celebtrations for them

I saw this guy photographing the place, which I guess must be
from the designer's office. He placed his second-hand Nikon
on his el cheapo (RM30 or so from KLPlaza) tripod and used
the timer for taking shots. So, I pitied him and lent him my
Nikon remote control, which helped him finish his job faster
but he nearly forgot to return it to me until he was outside

This used to be a roomful of island cubicles and a lot
of programmers. But there's nothing left now.

Upon arriving at the new site, we were not allowed
to do any drilling as this might disrupt everyone.
So, we have to return tomorrow morning to re-install
the phone system. But I see the potential problem as
there is the aircon right smack on the middle of the
wall. So we will have to mount the system on
another wall.
