Welcome to TBN, been in way more prisons than I ever wanted; got out four years ago.:thumbsup:

When I first started to work for a company near Atlanta, GA, doing gas leakage surveys, one of the first assignments they gave me was in Virginia and my boss had a name, but didn't know what kind of place it was; said he thought it might be a prison and if I was afraid to work in a prison, he'd send someone else.

I told that wouldn't bother me; that I'd been in a few prisons. You should have seen the look on his face before he remembered what kind of work I'd done in the past.:laughing:

But as it turned out the place was not a prison anyway.

Thanx for the welcome!!!
Re. working in a prison. I was hired to work in the Women's prison here in Mich. Yeah I know, I heard it all!!Tell ya what, you had to walk on eggs around those ladies!! I covered the Camps & 3 men's prisons

Overall tho it was a good deal, only 5 miles from my house,no standby, Call-ins were rare. money was OK.and it was my last job, hired at the young age of 57!
I know I'm gonna love this site!! got a great tip from one of the troops already and put me on the path to resolving this problem!! Come on Spring!!!

Again thanks for the welcome!!!!!

I kept running around the pod making tractor noises until they let me go for good.:laughing:

You're a better man than I, you couldn't pay me enough money to get me inside one of those places again.

Welcome to TBN Williray. I too am a retired computer nerd in southern Ind. I had worked for NCR installing mainframes and mini's mostly. As you can see these threads can divert from their initial posting.

Welcome again.
