A short interlude back into my past today – as an electrician!!
Not sure if you guys know (or care), but I am a fully qualified electrician
Guilds and all!

Just one of the many guises I have worn over the past few centuries of my mortal existence.

Working on a building site – I installed a couple of rack based networks into a new serviced office building.
A little before they should have been installed IMHO, but the client needed them in so…

I looked soooo cute in my little overalls - complete with official dirt from actual jobs, I’ll have you know

Lets just hope that the insecurity of the site and the inherent problems with dust and ‘accidents’, don’t conspire to mean I’ll have to resupply the stuff…

Only time will tell…

Desperate – that’s the only reason I can guess at for one of my competitors attempting to charge for some work that wasn’t asked for.
One of our clients wants to use a reputable delivery company’s warehouse to store some stock – this has been agreed already. Sounds simple so far.
Our client wants to use a terminal in the new warehouse to access the data systems in their own warehouse. Still with me?
Our client wants to also use this PC (in the new warehouse) to book in stock once it arrives at the new warehouse.
The other peoples IT support just decided to configure a remote printer – mail me the details of this – then attempt to charge £85 for it!
ALL BEFORE ANYBODY ASKED FOR ANYTHING AT ALL!

Not a bad return for something that probably took all of 5 minutes either

Maybe I should re-examine my pricing :idea:

Idiots…
