2012-02-07



For everyone who has patiently sat through me trying to explain what it is that I do, *this* is it. I am the project manager for the installation of these things. Everything you see in the picture: the frame around the outside, the slotted thingy on the left side, the "shelf" with the cards in it, the fibers, all of it. The small offices have only this that you see in the picture. The big ones have two of these "shelves" per "bay" (the outer frame), and we typically install 2-3 bays worth. I don't do the actual physical install, I just coordinate the arrival of the equipment (multiple suppliers involved, several separate shipments), the delivery of the equipment to the office (including some so remote they literally do not have a street address; you can imagine how much shipping companies love that), scheduling the installers to be there when the equipment arrives, and sending any missing and/or damaged pieces later on. We install several of these in a row, and I also manage the part of the process that gets each of these "shelves" to talk to each other, both within the offices and between the offices. Fun, right? :-)
