As long as I was a Craftsman in Bell I was quite content, figured that I might make it to Wire Chief someday.

Then they promoted me into the Data Processing Dept. New job greater challenge, I started to see a path ahead. That pissed off my first wife, eventually ended the marriage. Well that and her insane jealousy, an emotion I just don't understand. The problem was that the view was in those days if you had not reached a certain level by your early thirties you were not going anywhere and I was already 32 when the move to Data Processing came so I only got to 2nd level management.

Then Florence and I met so I took early retirement to cover my alimony costs. When the word got out that I was available th first offer of a position and H1B visa came from Virginia so here I am. My current ambition is to enjoy life and keep my wife happy.
