Hi all,
It's time for me to say goodbye. The NEC dealer company that I worked for has been sold after about 50 years of operating as a NEC supplier and has been shut down. As I'm now 71 I have taken retirement and playing Croquet now. I've been in the telco industry for 54 years and 18 at NEC. It's been great talking to people here over the past years and I wish you all good luck in the future.
Regards,
Paul W
Now back to a 0 day week. Love these 7 day weekends.

No need to bail out. We're often here discussing other things, sharing stories and even jokes. Stay as long as you like, at least until your next croquet match!
Seriously, thank you for your participation here and your advice. We can never have enough.

Now back to a 3 day week. Love these 4 day weekends.
This statement is no longer valid.
The new statement will be
6 Saturdays and a Sunday and I don't work weekends.
Again good luck!

Color me green with envy, sort of. A couple of days ago, (4/10) I marked my 46th anniversary in this business. I knew it was on a Tuesday because it's always my short day...I never work past 5:30PM.
I can't afford to retire and I'd also go crazy if I didn't have anything to do. Oh well. That's life. Maybe when I get to be your age, Paul, I'll pull the plug, but I'm kinda hoping for 2022 to get 50 years in telecom. Hey, it would be before my 72nd birthday.
Carl

Sad to see you hang up the butt set! Not many of us left who still say things like "off hook". I wish you all the best in retirement - hope to join you in 5 years......but it will probably be 10.
