CABL Forum - Re:AT&T

Kudos, Allen

You have a long term perspective and that's because you are three days older than dirt and that's good.

>Glad to here that things are coming around in California earlbob. We have been around cable it seems, three days older than dirt.
>It never ceases to amaze me how stunned people are when the work stops. I've been in cable 18 years now, seen the good times and the bad. Been around the block enough to know that it's a circle, good places to see and bad. As an independant contractor we have always had a symbiotic relationship with in-house. It allowed us to survive, get along and forge friendships and in some cases enemys.
>It saddens me to see all of the anger emitted towards ATT these days. While I have never been a particular fan of ATT I have enjoyed some of their contracts in the past. One that was recently shut down and I lost several engineers when ATT slowed and eventually stopped, however I didn't get angry.
>There seems to be alot of displaced anger these days. People have forgotten that they are directly responsible for their actions.
>I guess we need to chalk these things of life up to experience.
>Remember nothing lasts forever, and if you plan for the future you'll be okay.
>My guess is that I'll receive several angry responses about my comments here today, but I know that I'll still be here today, tomorrow and in the extended future, prospering a little here and there.
>As such I will let everyone know who wrote this. Right Kemosabe?
