^^^times two^^^

HoHo! I worked for a large corporation and retired with over 30, years ago. My last 7 years was during a period commonly referred to as when "Bell went south"
Me and most of the oldtimers had about all we could chew with it. Turned a perfectly good career into just another job. Corporate bs outweighed common sense at all times. Mandatory this and mandatory that crammed down our throats daily. Mandatory meetings trumped necessary service work for the customer. Stupid idea. Called into meetings that we had to sign a roster to prove we had been "covered". They never figured out who the new guy was. For 7 years we had an extra crew member named "Chuck Roste"

I like your style Billy!
