How the tech call went

Well, yesterday I had to go to a customer's site, and finish some work, that was agreed on about 1 year ago.

Turns out, it was something we never did, because they never called. They had laptops sitting in a closet for about 1 year. It's insane how that happens.

Anywho, they people were super nice, and while it was a bit complicated to figure out what they wanted to install @ first, everything went fine. It took me about 6 and a half hours to do the whole job. It got done, and all the 35 laptops were happy. The thing that made it take forever was the fact that they only had one cd of the two pieces of software. Also, they didn't have necessary tools to duplicate them, so I had to run two installation rotines, one after the other, slowly crawling from laptop to laptop. Also, there was the whole problem with the laptops never being turned on. So I had to wait for it to convert FAT to NTFS, and then, had to run to the "adorable" windows setup, on every single one.

I thought I was done, but out of the 4 last computers, 2 of them had passwords, which we had to call people, and to go a house to figure out. we did get it figure out, and then everyone was happy.

It's good that they weren't there to take advantage of anything, and it was a honest call to finish a job. Hopefuly there won't be any more problems with this account.

Ohh, and I did bring my MP3 CD player along for the tech call. I was setting up laptops, and dancing all along. Geeky, but happy times. *grins*
