Spring 1999 NOC contact drill

Geez, yesterday it was the east coast. Today its the west coast.

Yes, I'm still trying to work my way through the NOC contact list, but
I keep getting interrupted by fiber outages around the country. At this
rate I'm never going to get through.

Question: for those who have experienced my of my phone calls in the
past, how disruptive is it? If I went ahead, and continued going down
the list during these outages, if I called your NOC during a fiber cut,
would that be too distracting? Or am I just better off waiting until
the next quiet period?

Thanks.

* You need to conduct a FIXING FIBER DRILL and some training for
BACKHOE and DRILL/BORING machine operators instead :wink:

Some organization needs to figure out how to have these vehicles
or machines NOT cut fibre. Geeze it's not like these people have
never seen a "Call xxxxx before digging" sign before. Who makes
sure these companies know where not to DIG or DRILL or BORE???
What's their professional certification organization? (union?)

Can we give them a free FIBER and CABLE map somehow? How about
a free subscription to "Don't Dig Here" magazine (if there was one :wink:

Most of them do have maps of where everything is, the problems is
sometimes it just does not work out that way. Sometimes things are just
off a little. When you are working with machines that are so large it
does not take much to destroy a cable.

Well as long as the maps are not off a little. :slight_smile:
