cblj_backupI took the path of least resistance and managed to squirm out of work at a little past 2 so that I could get home with enough time to call NYC.
Which, of course, means that when I did call the museum first I got "Can I call you back on Monday?" and then "Well, I can TRY to call at two Eastern, but I can't guarantee anything". So I'll just have to make sure the cell is fully charged, keep it with me, and take my lunch at quarter to one on Monday.
At least I'm home, which is nice anyway because I spent the whole day shifting boxes, sorting cords, and installing computer equipment. If I never see another bloody ethernet cord I can die a happy man (but I will see more, because I'm going back to help finish the job every day next week). There are four 150-station computer rooms which have to be stocked with desktop computers, plugged into some power source, and hooked up to the internet. At this point, every station has all the proper equipment, but none of it is plugged in and none has been tested to see if it's even functional. None of this is pre-packaged, by the way, because it's all old parts from other facilities.
There are two of us.
I just keep muttering to myself "at least it beats flipping burgers" but you know, flipping burgers you at least get to stand in one place.
