I can't believe this message board is still 'haunted' by the same few bad
apples after so much time has gone by............

I just read the last 10 or 15 days of postings, and this news group is as bad
or worse than when I left it.

Well, for the old timers out there; an update:

I retired from Lucent after 37 years (to avoid being laid off and to 'lock-in'
my retirement medical benefits before they reduced the retiree health plan
options again).


Now cross your fingers and hope the execs don't bilk the company into
bankruptcy.

I finally had time to do some travelling and went to Sturgis for the first
time this year. Aside from Stugis, I have been spending most of my time fishing
and just riding my motorcycles; neither of which I can do in this COLD weather
which is why I decided to check in on the old newsgroup again.


Every try ice fishing?

To supplement my income I have been doing contract engineering for a medical
electronics place. Since I get paid by the finished job, I can come and go as
I please with no set schedule, and I really like that.


Ain't it great? And a lot of states don't consider individual subcontracting to
be a taxable business unless you declare it as such.

Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year!
