Smart man!! Nothing wrong with getting out, and probably at the right time. I got out, too. I start with the Union Pacific on Monday. I'm like you. Been in cable from hardline to fiber to drops, and sat from '98, but could'nt take the BS any longer. Stay cool in the pool, and many happy sunsets to you.
