What's going to be the deciding factor on the actual date? Finding a replacement. If someone already on staff at another location wants to transfer here, it will be sooner. If we have to find, hire, and train a completely new employee from scratch, then later. My boss has known for a couple of years that I'd be leaving this year or next, so it wasn't a surprise. We had an economic windfall that allowed me to pull the trigger. Edited March 4 by Charlie Spencer 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more worried about all the soda pop kids drink at that age than the coffee most of them don't drink. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, the amount of sugar people are drinking in soft drinks can't be good for you. Although, the amount of sugar I see some folks put in their coffee is not either. Mostly my reason for not wanting to start, has something to do with watching my dad and older brother have health problems, partly do to drinking so much of it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a network administrator at a plant that manufactures railroad safety equipment and control systems. We make stuff as varied as those railroad crossing signals up through mass transit and rail yard management systems. Our customers include the major US and Canadian railroads and many cities' mass transit and subway systems. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 Does anyone here have experience with hearing aids that are not for volume, but tone loss(or in this case probability was never there)? Is it worth the expense and bother of them, versus having to ask someone to talk clearly from time to time or maybe needing subtitles on some movies? How well do they really work, etc. If anyone knows and doesn't mind answering a few questions, from a non doctor-trying-to-sell-you-this-product opinion that would be nice! Feel free to use the PM. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also an effective technique in business meetings. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
