Bringing everyone back up to speed…
I’ve worked in the private security sector for the better part of 20 years. At this point it’s hard to see any of the stuff we do as more than a “wank” with paperwork attached, hardly an optimal point of view for someone in a senior position.
Now that’s not to say that I wasn’t doing the job, if I stopped doing things at work merely because I thought they were stupid I’d have been almost entirely inactive for the past fifteen years.
In any event, I took a job with a local technology outfit doing cable, phone and internet installations. I’m in class and tagging along with an experienced technician at this point, but at least the polyester/cotton ratio has improved. I’ve been forced to redirect my discretionary spending almost entirely to the toys and tools needed for the new gig, but new shiny toys hardly seems like a bad thing, ya know?
For now I’m enjoying the honeymoon period.
Hey – glad to hear about the cotton ratio going up.
When you coming to visit?
We miss you.

sounds like a perfect match for you. congrats, hope it’s very successful for you.
great…more Christmas tree pictures. Good luck on the new gig and continue on with the excitement of the industry…you know coffee and hard work.
20 years – really?! My, how time flies when you’re having fun
About time you got into something that lets you exercise your brain and body. I’m very happy for you!
Best wishes in your new career.

Do you get free internet?
Why do I picture you with the words “Born to kill” written on your hard hat, and next to it a peace sign. You know to represent the duality of a lineman’s life.
Don’t let that ass crack show! That always seems to happen to those with hands-on professions.
Glad you managed to finally get out from that fog of watching life going by.
Good to hear man! I have been working the whole armoured car thing this summer and to be blunt, I’m so looking forward to going back to class it’s painful. Security was good for me, but most of the guys working it are simply too talented to be there. You’d be in that number.
‘Honeymoon period’? Is the honeymoon now over? LOL!!!
Can you bring me up to speed again, it’s been awhile.
Piet … He’s taking his time, trying to figure out what to say and how to say it, isn’t he … LOL?!
What speed is this?
It seems kind of slow.
Naw, Piet, he’s waiting until November 3 – the second monthly anniversary of his last post.
Alright look!
I know how many days a week you work, and how much time you spend on the internet.
If you don’t give me an update Gawd as my witness I’ll send a short (But hart felt) letter to the NDP party on your behalf begging them to send all the literature they have so you can go on a one man crusade.
But I’m not done.
I’ll then get you a platinum membership in both the Hanna Montana and Joe Pesci fan clubs. A combination rumored to end in not only a search of your home but land you on the terrorist watch list as someone who has obviously nothing to live for.
And as if that wasn’t enough, if no update is posted within 24 hours, I’ll be forced to type “Google” into the Google search engine resulting in the internet crashing.
Don’t force my hand Brother, you know I’ll do it.
