I came here for a project which is on going for years and now at last its in a final position. PILOT of the project is tomorrow and 60 peoples involving from 5 sites.Canada,ottawa,chennai,antwerp and raleigh. Each having its own time difference. PILOT will go for 4 weeks and we already gave training to all. But upto the last day,even we dont know wheather we going to start tomo or not. Because of lot delays and issues,its always postponed everytime. But about tomo we already informed all peoples and management. So at 6PM my boss went by saying that i will work from home and if any mail came from IBM about the start of PILOT i will inform all and also i will inform a guy in chennai also so that even if am not possible to connect n/w from home, he would send. We already together composed mail & all, for the start of tomorrow. At 8PM i checked with IBM before leave and they told that all ready,one final testing is going and will finish in 15 min and they told that they will give us a mail once completed. So hopefully i went to room and relaxed and connected the office n/w from room and waited for the mail. upto 9 no mail, i just prepared chappathi and had dinner and waited. 10... 11.... no more mail.. My boss from home told that we will wait for bit more and if no response we will send mail to all to start from tomo... ok i waited... exactly at 11 30, my connection gone... VPN not working, its says down... sometime even net didnt connect... for every floor there is a wifi here, its not connected in my floor.... i dont know what to do.. time 12...
