This is going to be rather short for now.
I just wanted to mention that it’s really annoying when all the doors around here are locked because no one is around
I just spent the last, almost 3 hours at work. Why? Well, sometimes you have things that you didn’t get to, and when you combine that with the fact that they weren’t working when I thought they should be, and the temptation to not go fix it was no match. So yeah, it’s fixed now, it’s also almost 12pm. Night!

…not full of dragons.

For the last few days we’ve been doing a lot of work on our network setup in one of the residence quads. We’re, finally, getting new equipment, but it requires that some of the wiring be corrected from and older standard. So, since we have to rewire the room and all the ends on the switches in the basements too, guess who’s doing the basement part?! I won’t entirely bitch too much, but here are some pictures to give you an idea. Plus, I love picture posts, obviously.

First of all to give you an idea with some surroundings pictures. I’ve now moved to a smaller bunker room, it’s ok, I don’t have to stand on a chair at least, but it smells worse But anyway, here we go!

You better believe I spent at least an hour coming up with all the possible meanings and permutations of the letters on those pipes.

See that box of broken lights? Perfect! Well, I spent more then half the day working without most of the lighting you see in these pictures. Let me tell you, matching up 8 small coloured cords to the right tiny hole, while really, being only 4 coloured, some are striped, some are just intermittently marked, without barely any light, is something scientists call “pretty gay”. I don’t know what the panel does, but it makes a lot of humming noise.

Hey look, my corner! My prop chair, and the other one (we didn’t get along), some more random boxes, my pipes, the creepy hallway and the object of my affection.

In case there were any doubts about just how much of a bunker this place is, here, have a hallway that goes to absolutely nowhere. And if I turned right as soon as I exited there was another one that went even more to nowhere! Fantastic, I know, you want to move in here.

I make a lot of garbage, those keys there, yeah that’s the master keys to just about everything. I locked them in this room at least once, and we were just lucky someone else happened to be around with the other pair. I’m so pro sometimes. Also meet my laptop, yes, that’s Ubuntu Feisty Fawn. It provides me with all the music that I could possibly want, except not really, as I have to copy it over and I can’t find my damn USB key. I think, it has maintained my sanity for the last few days, thanks for that!

Meet the object of my hate. To be fair, I don’t hate them, I hate the fact that my hands are in pain, my skin is like “I hate you” and I have at least 4 cuts, one of which was due to my hand meeting a sharp metallic corner while having an approximate velocity of 6m/s. In case you like numbers, that’s 17 rooms per floor, 3 floors, and 1 room on each floor has 2 cords to it. Each cord is 8 tiny coloured wires, that need to be redone. I’ll spare you the multiplication. The good news, is we’re actually getting quite a bit of an upgrade on the network out of this, and so help me if I think something is stupid, I’m going to take this chance to absolutely complain about it.

I’ll close with this, my musical selection. It’s grown slightly over this week, as I was desperately trying to not listen to a song so much that I began to memorize is and hum it in my head all the time. It kinda worked.

Edit!
I don’t know how I forgot to add these.

If you’re wondering if this creepy picture was done before the pipes were there, or in a really awkward position after the pipes were there, then so I am. Either way, it was one of those what the hell moments discovering it, this actually is what prompted me to make this picture tour.

If you know Calvin and Hobbes at all, you know that there is a recurrent strip theme with monsters under their bed. Well, that’s what I think is at the end of this hallway. Monsters! I think they tried to eat me, but now we’re cool.
