It seems we have been granted a reprieve. The we of whom I speak is my work crew with SBC. The crew, C.O.E.I (central office equipment installation), was doomed to extinction at the end of this week. However, my boss’s boss called him today and said that the date has been pushed back. Glory hallelujah! I know it is going to happen eventually. I have seven transfers to other jobs in central offices and I hope before we go away, I am offered one of those jobs. The plan by management is to force adjust us to the NOC (Network Operations Center. ) If this happens, I would be sitting behind a computer for the rest of my SWB career. Also, it would mean a 30+ mile commute each way through heavy traffic per work day. Additionally, I will lose my 4-day work week. So please all readers of this entry say a prayer that the reprieve lasts until I decide to retire or am offered one of those transfers I mentioned. Thanks!
