Wrestling with Avaya IP office and BBX Vuesion ACD. I think it has developed a mind of its own. Routing calls where it has never routed them before....... Real head scratcher.

interesting day seeing how I've been up for about 5 and a half hours now.
Hate when you wake up and can't fall back asleep. -

Had fun issues the last week... My internet goes down so I call the cable guy. he's out checking his lines and gets zapped while checking his cable. He does some digging and it turns out that the ground line they use (connects between power meter and their cable box) was carrying so much voltage that it actually melted the connector for my internet connection!
So the cable guy (of course) blames something in the house or the power meter for the issue and disconnects the ground line. Not 5 minutes after he leaves, the power all over my house goes absolutely berserk. Lights are dim, but if I run the Microwave they get super bright, blew 3 light bulbs in one room... just craziness.
So I call my electrician (my Pops) and he comes up does some testing. Turns out there's nearly 80 volts on that ground line (that's now not hooked to anything!). So we check inside the house. There's usually two legs of power that come into the house... Each of them should be 110V at the fuse box / circuit breaker. I was getting 110V on one side,and 80V on the other.
Called the Power Company and they showed up literally 3 hours later and hooked up a line conditioner to the house. Turns out they have to pull a new power line to the house because the one currently powering us is old and has "developed issues".
So now with the line conditioner in place, all the gremlins are gone... for now.
Weird, sounds like more than a conditioner problem to me. Thats more like a bandaid. I wonder if the ground outside is really connected properly?
@jmoore and @Dashrender -- It is definitely a bandaid. GA Power has already had the utility lines in the area marked. They're going to pull a new line. The line is old, so they're going to replace it.
The line conditioner they have hooked up looks more like a gigantic UPS, so I'm figuring it does more than just line conditioning.

Are those common where you work?

Same old things, different day. Working on coffee, building vm's, imaging new equipment, responding to tons of email, remoting in and fixing user errors they cause because they won't learn how to do their own job so I learn it better for them. Sometimes I wonder what my life would be like if wife hadn't got cancer and I could have finished my physics degrees. Oh well, too late now.

Gotcha, that makes more sense for sure.

Do we have any mobile app devs in the community? I'm not aware of anyone, but figured that I would ask casually. Not looking for anything crazy, looking for primarily interface / GUI work.

Last cup of coffee finally kicked in, And we slowed way down...
