Sorry Guys....gonna be scarce for awhile

Well......started my new endeavour today as a Business Technician for Verizon. Will be working at Purdue University and I have a lot to learn. I will be on here as much as possible after work, but I don't foresee there being a lot of free time to devote during the day! I think I'm gonna like it here just fine!!! Quite a bit different getting up and putting tennis shoes and a polo shirt on instead of the old work uniforms. Gonna miss twisting wrenches a little, but I'll still get to do that at my part time job and on my own vehicles too. With everything being over 100k and one soon to be over 200K, they require some attention from time to time! Wish me luck!

So if anyone needs something specific PM me please. I'll do my best after 5:00 though!

"Business Tech" sounds like it's less work.......

It ain't.

Take it from another Verizon "Business Tech" assigned to one location for the past 21 years.
(2 years, 10 months, 12 days to go until I have my 30)

Are you the only tech on site?


It HAS paid the bills though...........

Casa Del Shovelhead is nearing completion.

Now THAT sounds like a great place to work.

I'm the only Tech here.
Bad part is,....if something screws up, there's no one else to blame.

Sorry.......don't have any connections at the wireless side. Although we share the name, that's about it.
