Disassembling POPs

Oct 27, 2006 18:02

In the pouring rain, me and a field tech went down to our Spencer Indiana POP to shut it down, a week ahead of schedule. We put out a notice last week detailing instructions for dialing into the new service number for that area, stating that service would terminate on the 2nd of November.

This morning, I get an email from the owner telling me to go down there and take everything out of the office. Grrrr... so now we'll have hundreds of angry customers, along with the support people angry at me for taking down the POP early, whee! So we took everything out, except the plywood panel that AT&T installed their demarc equipment on (large Westel 8-slot smartjack chassis) because it's LEC demarc equipment, I don't want to touch it. We get back to Martinsville with all the other equipment, and the owner says to go back and get the plywood, just unscrew it from the wall and take the AT&T equipment with us, they can come get it from our office! GAH! Everything is so stupid.

The owner of the building we were in changed the locks, and started yelling at me because the RNet owner hasn't returned any of her calls and she's left a dozen or more voicemail on at least two seperate numbers. He didn't sign a new lease and possibly owes her several months of rent. I love getting in the middle of stupid disputes like that, just because the owner here refuses to deal with issues of his own creation.
