ok. this was a weird moment. I just handed in my landline work phone. ☎️
Last winter we had a bad storm in #Nanaimo and it caused some power outages and spikes at VIU. At some point it damaged some very aged and critical parts of our internal telecom system.
Ever since, the plan to
move to fully digital comms (using Teams) has been quickly progressing.
The migration is done now. My phone still worked immediately after the storm, but it's been dead air for a few months now. Mine is the first in the building to go into "the box" which just appeared in the office. 😢 ✌️
Goodbye Faithful Northern Telecom phone.
I won't miss your answering service but my fingers will never forget the passcode. 😂
