 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 am a Senior Training Specialist for Motorola Solutions, and teach classes on a wide variety of subjects centered around 2 way radio communications (for eight more weeks). I knew that when the time arrived that I would retire. That time is now. 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 are not in demand anymore. My students were/are 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? This probably won't have daily entries, but I will make entries to update you about my life before and during my employment with Motorola Solutions. I also intend to update you all about what I'm doing in retirement. Well, here we go with this new adventure, let's see where it takes us.  Best Cultural And Regional Honorable Mention |
| Well, this morning I had my semi-annual cleaning, along with assessing my mouth/teeth for a partial plate. The loss of my 53 year old crown in February was quite a loss. The only reason he pulled it was because the GOLD crown had come out. Why did it come out? The tooth itself was cracked, while chewing a jelly-bean, the filling and crown dropped out. I really wanted that filling to remain in my mouth, fate had other plans. He wanted to get the impression done today because I lose Dental Insurance at the end of this month. The office bills my insurance all at once, so this way it's billed while I still have insaurance. I have to say, it wasn't comfortable at all. I'd never had that done, it was new to me, and definitely uncomfortable. There was a short moment of gag reflex with that thing getting the impression of my upper teeth, but I lived through it. Now to see what portion of the bill will be. I know it's at least $450, we'll see what the insurance doesn't cover. |
