The Party that never was

Today was supposed to be a very special day for me. This is because we're going to take a competitor's system out of circulation. No, no. We are not going to kill someone. What this means is that we go and do the following:

1) Dismantle the system (after an installation, if need be)
2) Take it back to our office
3) Beat the shit out of it and then throw it into the waste trolley.

Ha. Ha. The last part was true if I was working in my last (and first) company. Depending on the model and the age of the system, we would have to decide whether to:

1) Get a buyer for it,
2) Use if for spare parts,
3) Replacement option,
4) As a show room "trophy"

Unfortunately, today's joy turned to despair as the customer forgot to mention to the Guards that we're to haul away the system. Thus, the PABX room was locked by the time we got there. Sigh.
