Pete: time to creep out of the building and then RUN?

I would stroke out if that was my wiring racks.

My OCD is very limited, but that would flip my switch in a heart beat.

Mine was pretty close to that when I came here haha.

I’ve worked in closets just like that and I was the one tasked to trace the cables from switch to desktop…Oy… One was a hospital, the other was a military base… Wow.

At least he appears to be documenting his work…

I think you need to order your network cables in more colors…

My first networking job (let’s just say a while ago) they had IBM Type 1 cable throughout the bldg. For the Token Ring network that was there. I worked a week on removing it. Tools I used included a hacksaw and a padlock cutter to clear it out. I had blisters but still did not remove all of it from the hanging raceways. They were about 20’ off the floor and that’s where they stayed!

That would be the suicide note.

sad part is, he probably does know where everything is…either that or he got a new job and is leaving presents for his replacement.

stuggi · 2011-12-10T02:12:39.000Z

That’s the same mess I usually have to deal with, only bigger. My solution; rip out everything, install cable management and new switches, and redo everything.

whimpers Ours are mostly organised, but still almost gave me a stroke when I was trying to trace a wire last week.
