Always have worn the ring. It is made out on North Electric all relay telephone 
switchboard contacts. 

Life happens, you seem to get double helpings it seems.

You cannot fool the borg, we can see you are a stand up guy and congrats on 
getting legal with your baby momma. I would guess it made her happy.

Not everyone is selfless enough to take in foster kids.  Not easy. I did once 
but was not totally enthused about it. Was helping out with a minor crisis. 
That kind of stuff earns you a bit of bitcoin in heaven.

I was a daily drunk when a younger man.  I totally went cold turkey for many 
years.  That was a very good thing for me.  Fell off the wagon a few times but 
never went back to daily drinking. Everyone has to find their own middle of the 
road on that.  

Sounds like you need a side hustle that can turn into a full time gig.

  First, I have to say that I feel your pain and am sorry for it. Sometimes, 
you have to just gut through life till it gets better.  

  I wear my ring. When I conned I tried to remember to take it off. First 
because it really wears a hole in your hand. Second because I didn't want it 
hanging in something. Otherwise I never take it off. 32 years. Maybe that is 
more a testament to the fact we are both too lazy to try and train another 
companion than get happier. Actually pretty lucky someone will put up with me. 

  Second, leave all your comms at home. You need the time and will be a better 
employee after the time off. As an owner, while I spent a lot of vacation time 
working on shit I never expected my employees to. In fact, I used the 
opportunity to verify documentation was as good as it should be. An 
organization that can't operate without one person for a week is too fragile 
and that should be addressed. I am not talking about a one year old startup.

    This is super off topic, maybe really relevant to some. I note we have been 
infiltrated by list nazis this year so let me stress this  is very OT, unless 
it's not. 
    You other wireless gimps may have noticed I've been a bit absent of late 
with my totally awesome insight and amazing commentary. 
    Let me give a quick rundown. Last year I knocked the wench up, that thing 
didn't quite finish cooking, quite an unexpected bought  of those things real 
people have.. emotions I think they're called.
    The worthless tech, yet warm body broke his ankle in February or so, so I 
got to start doing my job and his since then (freaking awesome, let me tell 
you, who's my family again? Not sure, never see them)
    Picked up the two foster kids we had 6 years ago for a couple of years 
again because, well garbage cans shouldn't have kids, but they do.
    Found out the old bag was knocked up again right after we committed to 
adding the other two to the permanent mix.
    Got the joyous pleasure of watching the old ladies step mom go through 
pancreatic cancer and die in a few short months. Had made the prior mistake of 
her becoming one of my favorite people in the world... won't do that again.
    Dealing with the ball and chains mom going through stage 4 bone cancer, 
made the mistake of getting fond of this one too. (Historical note, I was an 
EMT-I here in illinois for 8 years who took that job way too serious, so I'm 
more aware of physiologic response to treatment than most, she's got near term 
croaks)
    I'm remodelling my house in all my spare time to fit all these tiny bodies 
in here.
    Decided to make a right woman out of this sow I've been with for 14 years, 
hammered that nonsense out in less than 30 days (was a nice wedding, if you 
like such things, I didn't cry, the preacher must have ate onions
    My old man appears to be catching a case of brain crickets, probably going 
to go south. Lucky for him he is declining slow enough to know exactly what's 
happening...what a spiteful God we have at times.
    The tech who broke his ankle has a lawyer, which is great, because 
incompetence should always get a settlement that could maybe bankrupt my 
employer for a decade and a half, right?
    My gardens full of weeds,  I lost all my habanero plants,  there's nothing 
tastier than a green habanero  and stores don't sell them.
    The junky dad of my two fosters is in jail, and the drug dealing stunt cock 
their mom is with is calling them from jail on visits with their mom... great 
parenting there, mother of the year.
    Oh yeah, I'm a like a top ten tier functional alcoholic.  Big shocker, 
right?

    Needless to say, I'm a bit stressed.

    I'm not an owner, I literally can walk away any time I want, no harm, no 
foul. I bring this up here because most of you jack bags are the same as me, 
you identify yourself by what you do, whether it's for yourself, or another 
guy. When you introduce people or talk about them, it's not John or mike, it's 
John the plumber and Mike the electrician.

    Two questions for the borg. The first being on topic.

    1. This stupid ring that I am trying to wear since I bought the cow. Any of 
you wear it?, I figure it's getting me electrocuted  or 9 fingered. But it 
seems important to the milkbag.

    2. When do you justify a blank disconnect. I'm going to the lake 
Shelbyville the first week of August (highly recomend this place, great 
fishing) we've gone there for a few years once a year with family, I've always 
made a point of bringing two separate service hotspots and two seperate service 
cellphones so I can be certain to connect back to the office. I have spent 
probably 50 percent of every prior vacation either dealing with or checking on 
on work for a decade. I'm burnt guys. I expect the usual "you gotta seperate" 
stuff. But really, from an owner perspective who has a right hand man, or a 
tech perspective who is too dumb to separate themselves, is that even 
realistic? What if SHTF? As an owner, you can't tell your right hand man to 
stay connected, but that's really what you want, isn't it? If you could answer 
a poll  anonymously.

    I missed you guys btw, even jaime
