I was singlehandedly responsible for maintaining A.T.&T.'s long-distance telephone service out of San Francisco in the immediate aftermath of the Loma Prieta earthquake in 1989. Because of my work, A.T.&T. was the only telecomm company to achieve that. As a result, I was honored, along with my counterparts in the Oakland Central Offices, at a dinner with the top management of the company. It was there that I met Tobias & received his personal thanks for my work. He asked if there was anything he could do for me. So I asked him for a character reference so, when I got laid off, I could find another job. He said OK, and three months later I was laid off after 10 years of service.
So, is it any wonder that one of my favortite sayings is:

"Those who still have faith in the system, have yet to experience it fully."
When did you move?

Do you remember when Jerry Rice was busted at that massage parlor?
