Where did you say the System was?

When I visit a new customer for the very first time, I have to be mentally prepared for things that might disturb me. The moment I step into their office, my Engineer mind takes over and this might be a bit of a problem. For you see, when a system has been installed, the installation must follow a set of Rules. And after that, when a technician comes to service the system, they too, must follow a set of Rules. Not doing that would mean they are not disciplined enough and would face my wrath.

Fortunately (for them), I have since resigned and now, I have to be more aware of my surroundings and compromise. And so, this brings me to today's customer. I am not sure about the details on how this system was installed and I do not want to disturb my tech since he is on MC after falling off his bike. But I was not happy with what I saw.....

Hidden in a corner next to the toilet entrance and squished
by the Photcopier, is the system. And on the opposite side
are the shelves, just about three and a half feet away. Which
is not a lot of space to work in.

Once I have removed the Photocopier, things got a bit better
but still, its not easy to work with the system so low. After I
sat on the floor, it was not a comfortable environment, which
increases my grumpiness. (Ha ha ha)

And if I did get the chance to find out which idiot did this,
I am going to give him a nice lecture, after I punch him in
the face, that is.

The system is barely an inch above the floor. I complained
to the customer and he said the installer did it. He was
quite flippant about it until I pointed out the dangers
of installing the system in such position.

My tech informed me that the system was not mounted by him as he only connects the cables and terminated them. As for the messy cabling, I am guessing its another party who installed the auto-dialers and messed up the whole box.
