Still Screwed Up after 2 Years!
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). 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. 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. Hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! Regards, Dennis W. Ostrowski #12 |

Regards, Dennis W. Ostrowski #12 \ Dennis, I don't know if you would remember me, but I just wanted to say welcome to retirement! It's FUN, ain't it!! Like you, I kinda got forced out in 2000, and looked upon the future with dread. I worked all my life from the age of 15 and couldn't envision not having a job to go to or a "clock" to punch. I discovered a couple of things: 1) I am more busy than EVER, and (2 it is nice to get up in the morning and have to option of doing or not doing. I can get up in the AM, make a pot of coffee, and go downstairs and tinker in my radio shack/shop, if the weather is bad (snow, ice, rain), I don't have to go out in it. No traffic to fight, no wear and tear on my car commuting. The downside is that everyone now says, "OH! You can do this little "favor" for me." or "How 'bout doing........... you're retired and have nothing to do". Boy, ain't that a joke! There's ALWAYS something to do. But right now, I think I'll run up to a friend's shop and go to lunch! 73 Jerry |

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.

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!
