ITT, we complain about work stuff.
I'm fast running out of ways to imply "I can't help them if you don't tell me what the problem is." :|

No huge complaints about my business, but the 2nd job I work for, there's a lot of inefficiency, miscommunication, and idiocy abound. From the techs, to the dispatchers, to fairpoint, and to the customers.
My main complaint is when FP signs off on a circuit installation claiming the work is finished, when in reality it isn't. I show up onsite to the customer to do the premise wiring and modem hookup, only to find out the circuit is dead. Makes me and the company I subcontract for look like an ass even though the issue is out of our hands.
Case in point, I went to install a DSL circuit at an apartment two days ago. I arrive onsite. No apartment numbers on any doors. So the apartment # was 3, I figured, must be third floor. Go to the third floor, knock several times, no answer. Call customer. Left voicemail to call me back. Get called back, customer's apartment is the 2nd floor.... Then I found no DSL service at the customer's phone jack. No biggie, head to the basement, find the NID, found a labeled circuit id, no dsl sync... WTF FP, you label the circuit, and claim it is provisioned but it isn't! I left the customer, drove to the CO, did a port test which was successful, so that means that the FP frame tech never hooked pair A to pair B in the CO. All I can do is escalate the issue with the company I subcontract with to get FP to fix the issue.
I know this pain. I used to be a Field Tech for ADC, I did test and turn up, turning up mostly Flashwave 7500s.
If you go, give me a shout, I'll make a 4 hour roadie if I can
oh, i'm sorry.. i thought that's where you were.
I've seen a few of those Cisco beasts in the racks at various COs in the area. Seems FP likes those a lot.Flashwave is a beast, I also did basic long hauls and Cisco 15454 turnups. Most of these guys I worked w/ were 20 years older than me.
Maine.What area do you work in? I traveled 30 states over the last 2 years.
Even better, are the work people who call me over the weekend to help them out w/ their home router or some other such bullshit. Please just leave me alone, I can barely stand coming in here as it is and yet you want to bother me with shit when I'm not even getting paid!!
