Maybe we can fix part one. Did you work transmission or power?

Power amplifiers for cellular base stations for part of my career
thin-film small signal components from 2 GHz to 110 GHz for the other part of my career.
Relocation is NOT an option.  I either need a job near my home, or I am willing to work in my home with no more than 10% travel.  Wife has a good job with excellent benefits, medical benefits that continue upon her retirement.

We work in radio frequency power equipment like induction welders (misnomer) for the steel tube and pipe industry. It's not pretty and the travel is pretty consistent. It's dirty as hell too.

@mcmac - BC is British Columbia, which when I started was BCTel - now it is TELUS. 

Out of college with the last of the two motion Strowger switches, with GTE through the #1EAX, #2EAX, #3EAX, GTD4600 and the GTD5. Based in Brockville Ontario from '71 through '86 (side trips overseas and to Northlake Illinois) been in BC since '86 where I retired in 2002. 

Where was your stint as Ops Manager? I see from the everywhere map you are in the PNW now. 

@Skiddymarker, I was an Ops Manager for the PNW (Oregon, Washington and Idaho), based out of Oregon. I had a few interactions with TELUS as they were a business partner supporting some or our customers with sites there in BC.

Shortly before I left we were in the process of shutting down one of the bigger GTD5 networks in these parts. Most are going to VoIP products these days as I'm sure you're aware.

Congrats on your retirement in a beautiful part of the world. Love the Canadian Rockies!

I have a few more years before I can join you

I'm an old black man in rural Mississippi Delta bottomland.  I sell BBQ and sauce from my leaky 55 gal. smoker.  About 30 years ago, some white dude in a '62 El Camino stopped by.  At gunpoint, he forced me to give him my secret BBQ sauce recipe, then stole the money from my tin can next to my leaky 55 gal. smoker and sped off.  I have been trying to recover ever since.

I was believing all of that right up to the "62 El Camino" part. Chevy did not mak an El Camino in 1962. I'm guessing you just forgot you secret recipe and trying to blame it on some poor redneck. Nice try.

Wrong, first El Camino was 1959.

I am an alien from a far away planet that you humans call Kepler 62e.  I've been planted here after a very painful body transmogrification (my bad, that is humorous on my planet snark snark snark) to monitor earth, notably human evolution as what you would call an entomologist.  The comparison is hard to understand from a human perspective, but your species is similar to the insect life on my home planet. 

What you call animals are very similar to our vegetables.  We love to eat them, and as a Kepler 62e vegetarian, I like to eat your "cows" and "pigs" and other such vegetation on the planet you call "Earth", but we call Primitive C-class 00101011001.  What you call vegetables is our version of fungus.  I eschew fungus, so I stick with the higher forms of vegetation.

Anyway, I'm at the end of my tour and X76Gamma Shlogneobob will be replacing me in the next sub parsec, so I figure it wouldn't hurt if I came clean on my job.  They pay me with something that is remotely like your "money", but it's an energy source called "bunny".  We energize our shlarpots with it and it's unbelievable.

Anyway, nice conversing with you humanoids, you are quite interesting.
