The Last Person.....

and....what...do..you...do then? lol Are you sure your not just an operator? teehee

Right now I'm preparing for a homologation of equipment in to a string of South American countries so I'm analyzing how the incumbent carriers perform IAM segmentation and other differences that correspond with different applications of the same ISUP variant to make sure that when our customes go live, they can pass their acceptance testing.

It's pretty dry, really

That's all? In my sleep, in my sleep (basicly because I wouldn't have a frigging clue how to do it while awake. And I can also fly while sleeping also.) OK I understand "South American countries" "analyzing" and a few other words, but are you sure you are using English for the rest of it?

 

[dragonswordkata]

That was NOT nice! Well I guess I deserved it lol

I never knew much about the tele business. I had a friend who played with all those gizmos, Ham radios, security systems...I never could get the lingo down,let alone how it all operates. That's probably why I work with DD and ABI folks. The dynamics of interpersonal relationships and life skill training are less mind boggling to me lol. But thank goodness for folks that know how the gizmos work otherwise I'd be banging sticks on logs to place long distance calls. Thanks!

My description is in English, yes. But the work I'm doing is largely in Spanish. That dang Aviso del despertador isn't working as expected. I hate when that happens

It's all true though...none of that was made up

Basically I fix problems when they occur and try to prevent problems from occuring in the future. I'm in a customer-facing position so there is plenty of interpersonal work too...which is what I love about the job

Tonight...Clear through this evening...Then becoming partly cloudy. Lows around 12 below...Except around 25 below in the normally colder locations. Northwest winds 10 to 15 mph. Wind chill values as low as 33 below.

I must say, living in one of those "normally colder areas" is somewhat of a disadvantage during the winter months. There goes my lower heating bills this year.

 

[dragonswordkata]

I best go and rub the wifes feet, so I stay out of the dog house. You all have a great night

And I'm freaking out that its nearly Zero.

I have nothing to complain about at all

An hour ago it was -6, but it has been dropping like a rock sense then. I'm about half-afraid to look at the thermometer.

 

[bydand]

Todays HIGH in dear old Washburn, Maine was a sweat inducing -1F I almost broke out the flip-flops and tank top with the witty logo for a tropical resort I've never been to on it.

I'm a telecommunications engineer out keeping the world safe for Democracy. And VoIP.

For a PBX vendor or carrier?

One of my hats is that of a telecom admin of an Avaya system.

Cool! That is a SWEET system

I'm on the carrier side myself.

Good evening everyone

 

[Carol]

Evening Fnorfoot! Glad you joined us!

Any snow in your part of the state tonight?

 

[fnorfurfoot]

No snow, just bitter cold. How about yourself?

 

[Carol]

Bitter cold here too. I'm up in NH finishing up work, but I don't expect it to be much different once I come back down to the North Shore.

Brrrr.....

 

[fnorfurfoot]

What kind of work are you finishing up at 11:30 at night?

 

[Kacey]

Chilly, but not bitter cold here... 29 headed for 15, and the forecast includes our 7th consecutive weekend of snow... ick... the weather reporters are starting to talk about records for number of consecutive days with snow on the ground, although that's 63 days and we're only at about 30 (I forget exactly).

 

[fnorfurfoot]

I don't think that we have gotten a full inch of snow yet. It's been the mildest winter up until two weeks ago.

I'm a telecommunications engineer. My work shift is 4-Midnight. Gotta keep everyone's telephones working
