I will take it off for doing central office DC battery work. That is about
it.

Congrats and sorry about your luck. Up to you to figure out which part of
the story the congratulations and sorry go with. Hopefully time doesn’t
change your answers.
1) Still wearing the ring 25 years later. I used to take it off working on
live electrical panels but that was about it, otherwise worn it the whole
time. Don’t worry, the dead flesh under the ring eventually sloughs off
and it gets more comfortable.
2) You should be able to turn everything off. If the business can’t live
without you for a couple of days there is something wrong. It takes me a
good 3 or 4 days to get over the compulsion to check my email and call the
office when I’m gone… and then I get over it :-)

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
