There is always that but my current guy has been there longer than most.   Guess I’ll find out Friday.   

OTOH I do have a TEC assigned for the design circuits.  Can’t to see what he finds this time.

I think the monthly call with our account rep might be a bit more interesting than usual this month.

Century Link has, apparently, quit repairing them, leaving them on the ground to be driven over

IHM, and KING-FM are now on Comcast Fiber

Might do a line check.  ALL of the Hubbard phone services are down today.  Pots lines to T-1's. Looks like they died 20:30 Sunday.
