After another momentary acknowledgement of my many years existing as contributing and noncontributing member of this particular society, I have come to another conclusion. There are no absolutes or guarantees, only the inevitable and continual cycle of risk versus reward. If you don't understand the significance of that, life might be a wee bit more frustrating than it need be.


Note from management,

“The pending sale of the company to our former competitor has taken an unexpected turn. It appears that they do not want any of the equipment or fiber, only the customer base. After the switch over from our network to theirs, most of you will no longer be needed and will be eligible for unemployment benefits. We realize you will all have an extremely difficult time finding work doing what you do best considering there are 600,000 of your brethren are out of work nationwide, but believe us when we say, we wish you all the best of luck for the future and can not thank you all enough for your dedication and effort the past year.
