1/10/2014...

I spent my entire work day today workin' with a fella from AT&T, workin' on three T1 circuits for US Customs.

Charlie.  Seemed like a pretty good guy.  We got to talkin', (Me.  Talkin'.  How crazy is that?) and he said he started in residential installation when he was just sixteen.  He talked of his plans to retire in a few months.  When he does, he'll be sixty-two years old and have forty-five years with the company.  I thought that was damn amazin'.

Then, I got to thinkin' about my own work history, and then about Life in General. 

The only thing I could think of that I've done consistently for forty-five years was to breath.

 

And that was involuntary.
