• directions to the WTN pop- the MCI pop on 19th, for my first solo trip into DC ever
  (for an emergency exploration when our primary 7000 there went tits up and every network engineer was on vacation. Not traffic was getting in or out of DC. It took me 7 hours, but I rewired and labeled everything and managed to get the important circuits up and running. I also chewed out our network engineers when they got back- that place was a fucking rats nest. The MCI techs were just amused to have a girl in there- they gave me everything I needed- drinks, a wireless phone, ladders, tools. And I had been told they were the biggest hard-asses ever.)
