Well that's a mess how could we ever find a faulty cable in that?
This shouldn't take long...
Ok it might take a while
Half way through. Gota do it in stages as everything must work tomorow morning when people come in for work. So this was the end of the first night.
The final product! 2 nights later!

how is your OCD related to this wire clean up ?
amglasgow
Wanting things to be neat and tidy is not OCD.
JJSparx
I appreciate this isn't OCD, but is there a recognised condition where you absolutely have to organise things neatly for fear of death etc.?

@CtNero Good work, man. I love it when someone leaves a manageable workspace for whomever comes after them instead of a lazy man's mess! +1

Not OCD. Just more organized. OCD is a mental illness. I'm just pointing that out.

The progression pics oddly remind me of French braiding my daughter's hair, esp. doing multiple braids.
Igottalottacheese
That's not OCD, that's probably just your job. Congrats on doing your job.

Sweet, beautiful Velcro wrap... I was fully expecting zip ties and ready to cringe. Thank you for doing it properly!
MrPilot
Upvoting for awareness. Riptie is fucking amazing.

I love you and your kind.

someone with OCD would not be satisfied with this, but good work

Ughh the red and blue lines in the same patch box drives me crazy!

Tracing cables still going to be a pain in the ass
tinnerz58
Unless they are labelled (it's frankly an disgrace and not worth bothering if they aren't) this is worse than a rats nest.

OCD - I don't believe you.. your title would not be wrong - you'd have deleted the post and fixed it..
WeAreAllLost
+1 for progression photos

Then a week later, a contractor comes in to do something then it's back to pic #1
Alphatronx3
It might just be me but I found it irritating because I don't want to see half all nice then the other part still unclean#firstworldproblems
theBlueFour
I can see what you mean, but the process photos makes you appreciate the effort more. 2 days feels longer in more photos

Liking things neat is not OCD

Your not done yet. You need to label them all. Been there done that.

My man. 50k feet per floor x5 floors for a medical center, only 2 server rooms on each floor. That was my hiring job

Incredible how many people in here don't know how OCD works. Fuck you all.

Unless he made sure they were all plugged in 50 times over.

First image I thought was our server rack for a sec lol. Good job btw. Pro tip - Velcro.
KirwinWebb
In the picture he used Velcro
plastikb0y
Ah, well spotted. Didn't notice.
KirwinWebb
Holy shot, didn't realised my messages spammed. Sorry about that lemme go delete them.
KirwinWebb
In the picture he used Velcro, he seems to know what he's doing.

So everyone with a sense of order has ocd now... Ok.
taco1910
It's almost never ocd, everyone just has the c.
kn33deepinsolidrock
Nice, but does anything work now?
CtNero
Surprisingly yes. I know I was shocked too

Until they call in a maintenance tech in 2 months and they fuck the whole thing up
augdah93
@OP well, does anyone know you did this? Your superiours would surely be pleased :)
askaboutmyweiner
There isn't much voltage on those lines so it prolly didn't hurt much
serenityfast
If it's shocking you I think you might have screwed up.
WhoWantsAMustacheRide
I think it's called modesty and self deprication

No. Acronyms stand for something else. Alphebatizing it is nothing more than an overdone joke, as now the words are actually out of order.
ashurtl96
I misspelled alphabetizing. I have made a mistake.
SleeperXib
Good job alphabetizing that. +1
FUWhat
THANK YOU!!! Except, when I have to service it, I'm cutting all those tie wraps.
BMKattman
Yeah I think its Velcro lol. Smart on his part.
tinnerz58
Look closer, I don't see any cable ties, just what looks like a couple of Velcro straps. Shamefully though it looks like nothing's labelled
CtNero
Correct Velcro.
iLynux
Wait... for once someone in one of these posts used Velcro?! HALLELUJAH
tinnerz58
Why on earth are none of the patch leads labelled? You've officially made it harder to trace a cable!
FUWhat
Fuck yeah! Thank you for that.
GrImmgur
That's not what OCD is.
bananaranch
Anal retentive probably but definitely not OCD.
rotenkid
I do the same shit. Just tell people I'm a bit of a perfectionist. Actual ocd is no good, im trying not to down play ocd
MarshallDaemon
Always someone. They just mean meticulous and organized.

YOU'RE not what OCD is!

Every time anyone says OCD this comment pops up! Every time! Its a bloody colloquialism!
thisguy79
No, it's not a colloquialism. Its people misusing a term they don't really understand.
Bortus
Maybe man, but there is a difference between 'omg i'm so OCD look at how tidy my room is" and "I have severe OCD".
notdavis
Unless he plugged and unplugged each of them 42 times.
lyricallove
That's not what OCD is entirely about either.
notdavis
It's not obsessive compulsive to need to plug and unplug each cable 42 times to make sure it's plugged in?
Muttons1337
I think he's saying it *can* be but not entirely just that.
BMKattman
PSA to everyone: you don't have OCD. I know it bothers you sooo much when something is out of order but thats not what it is. OCD is a 1/
rvleshrac
Yeah, the people trying to work were probably super-pissed if he had to unplug and replug each cable 46 times, every hour.
