Oh I see. Not bad, lots of physical work though. I need to get myself a jacket and I wonder if I can claim for trousers on expenses, due to kneeling down a LOT, though I guess all this manual work is pretty good exercise. After a while, you get used to the temperature changes (You lift a floor tile and it's really really cold) And then it can be really warm when you stand up. Thirsty work as well, not because it's strenuous but because of the noise, you talk a bit louder, and because of the cold, your mouth dries out
And your eyes dry out, so I've been wearing some (optional) specs goggles
One of the tile lifter is pretty scary. It's used to lift carpet. This thing:
Fortunately, they're slowly getting rid of the carpet tiles. They're annoying to pick up
Then we have something like this:
Which we use when there's little space. Normally we use something like this:
My manager however is like a machine, and because he's tall, it means he can kneel around tiles where I can't ie: one knee on one side of the tile, and one on another, and then we have to "knit"
And a couple of days we had FOUR 15 meter fibre cables fail. That's a lot, especially considering the length. Four 2m cables isn't bad, but 15 meters gets pricey. We use this thing to test:

That being said, we saw a switch, that was marked as "old", and it was introduced in 1999. That still retails for around 27K
That being said, I really appreciate what happens in data centres around the world now, purely because of the amount of effort needed, with pre-implementation, planning, implementation (and getting lucky), just to move two switches to different racks for 48 hours
Also, I promised pics of the house before so here they are:

Like he's gone home atm, but someone's coming tomorrow (supposedly) to fix our boiler, and I've cleaned the house since we moved in, and now he's gone home....
I mean the house should be clean any way, but it's kinda "worse" when people come...
Isn't gajjar halwa basically gajrella? Jalebi and apple pie. Interesting
I do sometimes when I'm home I guess, but not that much.
