Network position as in installing gear and pulling cables or support such as a NOC?

Coffee, Red Bull, Aspirin, stress ball, screwdriver, crimper, fiber cleaning kit, copper/fiber cable tester, punchdown tool, laptop, assortment of console cables, "Speaking in layman's terms" handbook, nmap, putty, visio, Solarwind's Orion, tftp server, notepad++, wireshark, cain....

What I could think of at the moment. Maybe after a refill of coffee I can jot down more.

Except instead of aspirin I would go with something like Percocet or Demoral (SP) and alcohol for drinks

A good Fluke network tool such as their Linkrunner Pro will save you many, many headaches. Makes it very easy to test cabling, find where they go, show VLANS, switch ports, ect.
