This day I received a certificate of patience from Sir Paul written by Marc for having been able to withstand the tiring task of implementing the changing of features of subscribers in the S12 Switch.
It took me the whole day of our OJT plus over time until 10:00pm in working with the S12 switch using SSMS. A few minutes after I arrived, I was tasked by Ms. Ina to monitor the disconnection checklist of S12 from one of the computers in our section. I remember I started monitoring the process at 8:30am and up to 10:00am, the execution of the disconnection had not completed yet in all the listed service orders. After waiting for so long, it was aborted by Ma'am Ina for the reason that Steven would be using the PC to work on the program that he's been modifying and troubleshooting and I was assigned to a different station but of the same task of implementing S12 switches.
During my lunchtime, I just left my task hoping that after my break the switch would be properly working again. I had my lunch together with Gino and Christian at the fifth floor. When I was back at the NGN and PSTN Surveillance station, the switch wasn't working yet so I reported it to Ma'am Ina and she instructed me to ask Sir Paul. He taught me how to abort the execution of the particular activity in the implementation of S12 Switch without repeating the process to the numbers that has already been implemented. He also taught me the reason why it happened in a very technical manner which I found very interesting and I really learned a lot from it especially that it gave me a clearer view on what really the circulation of the tasks in the NSD is.
After that, I was back to implementing the 5-page list of changing of features in the S12 Switch. I patiently did my assignment to the point that I was staying at that station for a long time. Later I found out that they are making fun out of me like I can be awarded by a certificate of patience.
At 10:00pm we decided to go home after playing a bit of Ravenhearst although I haven't finished completely my task because I was told to just leave it unfinished.
It's really a tiring and stressful day but I am starting to see what it's like to be in the real world..
