Right now there is a packaged pump system on a pallet in the basement that's been sitting around for two months that they'll install... someday. People have been getting stuck in the elevator for years, looks like they'll replace them over a year and a half. Replacing the fire alarm took a good part of the year. You can wait for a month for the paint shop to show up and it takes most of a week to do a job.
We had a security panic last fall after it went down in Gaza. It used to be you could go to a sports game and bring a camera bag but no more. Security cameras appeared over the engineering school instantly one weekend, like mushrooms popping up after a rain. I'd never seen any blue collar job get done quickly like that before.
Of course security cameras are easy to install because all you need to do is run an Ethernet cable to the nearest PoE switch, our comrades in the PRC have made it so easy because they wanted it to be easy for themselves so it's amazing how much camera you can get for a low price. Also security has always been pretty lax, I am amazed to go through the loading dock and seeing a $250,000 fiber laser in a crate in a place that's totally unsupervised.
