Untill the 'coworker' decided HE was taking that ttime off. To go see a cousin in texas, because a fringe relative that he can't even rremember what sate she lives in is sick. (I don't even) I talk him in to makinsue he gets the weekend rright before he asks for his time off (he's not the smartest cookie) and pu in my equest fyesterday. (It won't be seen till inthe moning.) I get here today, and he tells me he's taking -this- weekend off. not only is that against compay policy (2weeks notices for time off) but the boss is going to try and make me work 12 hour shifts, I'm prretty sure, because that's the same week that our othe coworrke has reserves drill. I'm hoping that the floate guy is still available, because that will fix the issue, bu the office is known for jeking us around (like that transfer I'm still waiting for) and the 'coworker' is going, whether he gets approval or not (which he'll get, because he is liteally the boss' favorite) so we're gkinda screwed.
Did I mention that I've gott maintainance comming over this weekend tto doo major worrk on my bathoom?
Set everything up, went into work and collected gear and read through the brief and facedesk'd. The job is confined space and I haven't done the site specific confined space introduction. Noone is able to do it for me so job is (as far as I know) canned.

Wondering if I still get to keep my knee caps.
This kind of weather may be laughable to some of you, but Nola's don't do the cold well. Especially below 30. Even at 50 I need something to combat it.
.. Its supposed to get into the teens tonight. I don't wanna die yet.

There is a loooovely little note that says, "Ha ha ha u n00b, u have no wiring on the outside of ur house." Now, I am not an electrician, or a network person or IT or a telephone person. I don't really deal with wires and wiring. So I took a picture to share with everyone.
Now, I understand this is a relatively new type of NID. In fact, based on how shiney and gooey everything is, I'm going to take a stab and say that "John" installed this puppy on the 7th. Despite not knowing anything about this stuff, I do know that the big black wire with the reddish and yellowish wires do go down the box and into my house. If I had to guess, that is where my internal wiring would connect to the outside world, or more specifically this stupid box. Did I mention it is really cold and my fingers basically freeze in about 12 seconds? It's cold.
Now, if I flip open that little thing, the yellowish and reddish wires coming from my house plug into the T and R bits of the little connector thing. Like I would kind of expect them to. Unfortunately, my modem refuses to have the little DSL light turn green to proceed to step 4 of setup. Because it can't talk to the rest of the world through this box. I need to mention once more that it is cold.
I was tempted to post this in 'Tech Talk', but lets face it, POTS is basically like a rock tied to the end of a stick compared to the awesome stuff like fiber optics and whatnot of today. Or even CAT 5 cable. Anything. Plus it said 'Clients and Scripting' and I was cold. Because... you guessed it, it's cold.
SO, I know there are some wickedly talented and knowledgeable people who come from all sorts of professions and hobbies and backgrounds that peruse these forums. Would anyone be able to make me less MAD and shed some light on this?
the blue/white and orange/white wires look to be a standard CAT 5 cable, my educated guess would be that the blue/white is your telephone service and orange/white is the DSL service which needs to hook up into the same lines. It's really hard to say, there it looks like the spare wires are the ones that are capped at the bottom.
T usually means transmit, and R is usually Recieve. If I had to guess, hooking it up into the same points for blue/white as where the orange/white with the capped wires. It's really just an educated guess though, it's hard to know what the telecom did, and that Demark point is not one I"m used to.
Also the day after I got here, the cat jumped up on my keyboard and broke my X key and my N key, and because I had no net, I couldn't figure out how to fix them. :< So all of the writing work I've done for Aet while I was offline, was done sans a working n/x key. (A -lot- of writing work.) Paaain. Finally fixed it. Yay, internet.
