 Being Retired now, I thought that it was time for a new name to this Blog |
|
Talk about perks, my career had one of the best I can think of! I traveled in the course of business, delivering classes for my employer. I was a Senior Training Specialist for Motorola Solutions, and taught classes on a wide variety of subjects centered around 2-way radio communications. I knew that when the time arrived that I would retire, and I have. I've always said that if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen, get out! I can't handle the heat anymore. I was qualified to deliver approximately 32 different classes, but about half of those were 'Legacy' classes, and were not in demand anymore. My students were technicians, those who maintained, programmed, calibrated, and repaired large 2-way radio systems. Some of these systems are statewide, and use TCP-IP networking to allow sites to communicate with others. Some are small, traditional type radio sites. The size doesn't matter, in each case the systems must be kept operational at all times, since many of them are Public Safety Systems. So I traveled, sometimes frequently, 3-4 weeks in a row.... where have I been? Some of the places I've been (I can't list them all here, the list would be toio long) are pretty interesting. 1. Hawaii - Four times, Oahu, Maui (twice), and the Big Island 2. BangkokThailand, twice 3. Frankfurt Germany, twice 4. Algiers, Algeria 5. Melbourne Australia 6. Bismarck North Dakota, Summer & Winter 7. Los Angeles, Too many times to count 8. Washington DC, Too many times to count 9. Seattle three or four times 10. Texas, all over the state 11. Florida, all over the state 12. New Mexico, HOME! Several times  Best Cultural And Regional Honorable Mention |
Dang, You Mean I Actually Have WORK To Do? Well, I do have some work to get done tonight, work here at home, not 'Work work'. Yeah, my wife (Not me Thank God!) has somehow gotten a virus on her computer. It seems to cause a lot, I do mean A LOT, or pop ups on the right side of the screen. She got it last night after I was in bed. The bad thing is, even though I ran a full McAfee Scan, nothing was found. I might be changing AV software as a result. She was on FB reading a story, and like usual, the story has a link to click to finish reading it. She clicked the link, McAfee alerted her about the site, but it was too late. Oh well. I've managed to stop the Pop-Ups by activating her VPN. That still left a lot of windows on right side open, at least they can be closed. She's on it now, so once she gets off, I'll restore her PC. I've already backed up all her personal files. It's just a PC Restore now. That might take a while. Plus, reinstalling McAfee (Until I figure out which AV Software we'll use next), and Microsoft Office, and... and... you know. Now to see where this little adventure takes us. |
