... And It Goeth

The move of the sales department is done. Finally. Caput.

We started the move exactly at 5:30pm on Friday, and unfortunately, left the station at midnight with 5 offices remaining. We would've stayed and gotten all of the offices fixed, however there were no desks in place to put anything on. As a result, Kyle and I had to come back in on Saturday and stay for about 2 more hours.

I'm pleased to say that everything worked out brilliantly. The network is nice and fast, and a vast improvement from the bottleneck that was the first floor. Now that sales is back up to their own private switch on the 2nd floor, the rest of the building should see an improvement on their network connections. Also, the phone system worked out without a hitch. Our adaptors used to extend a single plug into 4 phone lines worked very well. There's at least 2 offices and 1 cube that uses this configuration, and I think that it's going to prove to be one of the smartest moves made thus far.

Now, what remains to be seen is what happens tomorrow. I'm just waiting for that first phone call on Monday morning saying "my [insert item here] doesn't work!" Of course, that'd be a bunch of bull, as Kyle and I both thoroughly tested every single phone and network line in the sales area multiple times. I just know that will happen though. Odds are most of the calls I'll get are "I don't like where this is, it needs to be over here" and I'll have to end up moving something stupid.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Wish me luck for tomorrow.
