That's the duration of my adult working life in some capacity of telecom construction/supervision/engineering. Friday was my last day. Not having a job to go to this morning was a damn weird feeling! Did a LOT of traveling from 1976 up through 1994. Made it back home for good around 1995. Lived in/seen some great places and some really shitty places in the western Pacific (but the WWII shipwreck diving was off the chain!). Made some wonderful lifelong friends and a few enemies. My last gig og 7 years was my dream job and if not for some health issues and old age that's robbed me of my energy, I would have stayed longer. But, at 68 I'm tired and I'm done. May you all have the job of your dreams and take it all the way through. It's just one life. Make the best of it.
