Construction Meetings

These are fun. Seriously. Where else do you get to listen to the architect talk how the color of the walls and carpet will affect "x". Followed by how this type of toilet flusher thingie won't work cause kids beat the bejesus out of stuff causing it to break or flood? or as you are working on your iPad hear that the are swapping out all AC units at a campus this summer. That causes a pucker factor. hey, wait. no ac. what about our mdfs? idfs? so, these new units, the go...on the roof. awesome. so, are you doing anything about ceiling. Oh, just removing the entire grid.All my APs are going to go offline. and cameras. and speaker. crap. When do you expect to finish. Oh the friday before all staff returns. uh, houston, we have a problem. no security and paging will cause some uh, issues and not just for my staff. Then we have to work coordinate teams to get this stuff done. take down, put back up. I actually like listening to a couple of the guys from the construction company cause how well they can do logistics in their heads. quite impressive talent to behold. And plan and schedule is born.

then back to work. The most favorite word uttered during any meeting is..asbestos. the fact i know the general idea of the law in the state is...sad? 10 days to post notice. no access during the removal. anything left in the area is gone once the abatement start. Then pray they don't find anything else. 10 days doesn't seem like much, until you factor in summer is effectively 10-12 weeks long. Plus the abatement time. Losing 2-4 weeks out of that is a huge hit.

That was the highlight of the day.
