Yeah, 1915 - been a while (we just used to call it "TAB")
Sounds like Ron and Connie are no longer with Qwest.
At one time I used to work on the 14th floor of "STTLWABP", but also at 2nd and Lenora (STTLWAEL) and in the Metro Park complex when U S WEST leased space there.
Before that I was mostly at AUBNWA01, TACMWAFA, and TACMWA02.

I figured Connie would make management, didn't expect Ron to advance at all. Heh. This is the first time I've asked about either since about '96.
In the early eighties I was one of the C.O. engineers for STTLWA03 (and four other C.O.s) - took over the carrier engineering from another guy (Ben Brown, who died on the job at BP). Later went to TIRKS support then Bell Labs, then Customer Premises Engineering (High Speed Digital) when I got back. (I won't admit which hundred or so DS1/DS3 prem locations I engineered. They are probably disaster areas these days.)
Last time I saw Ron he was sound asleep in the equipment room on the 34th floor of STTLWAWB... :D

Dear Washington State Elected Officials
F*** you... F*** all of you to hell and die... becuase of your "protect the home owner" Crap law you signed or didnt include some sort of waiver... you have most likely cost me the one and only offer on my house that I have for sale.
It was already going to be a lengthy process because it was a shortsale.... but with the new law and lack of exemption for my agent, or waiver for me to sign, my agent can no longer act as the mediator between my mortgage co's to get the sale pushed thru... I have to now pick up and start calling both.... she can only deal with the other agent/buyers
So to you Rob McKenna attourny gen, Gov Gregoire and other elected officials
Jump off a bridge

Dear Beer Distributors:
I understand your dilemma that it costs a lot for gas these days to deliver beer and wine to stores, restaurants and bars. I understand the need for a $150 minimum purchase, but I really don't understand why you decide that I must be on a two-week delivery cycle with a salesperson who calls me on the phone. What if I don't have enough beer sales on the week you call me, but I get slammed and run out of Moose Drool and IPA and need a delivery the next week.... the week I'm not supposed to get a delivery? Too bad, you tell me sweetly like I'm supposed to just patiently wait and not sell your stupid beer. But then you tell me that if I can get up to $400 a week with all this "help" you'll be offering on the phone that I can have a real sales person and regular delivery. I don't get it!!! (OH, and it doesn't matter that the truck is at the grocery store next door every week and no further truck driving is necessary.) If it wasn't for the State Liquor Board rules about only able to buy from a distributor, I'd be getting my supplies from Costco!!!!! It's not fair that you big corporates insist on putting small people out of business. Maybe we need to unite.....
SMALL PEOPLE UNITE!!

Dear asshat driving the black camry on 405 north,
Just because we both changed lanes at the same time, and almost hit each other is no reason to lose your temper and start screaming at me, **** happens, and I could not hear you anyway.
Then when I moved into the carpool lane and started to pass you and you cut me off and slammed on the brakes, WTF it's not only dangerous but you could have killed my whole family.
If I ever see you in a parking lot I will beat your A$$.

Dear WSP,
I hate you. I have no respect for cops in this state because of all the bogus "charges" you freely handout to innocent tax paying AMERICANS. Why don't you go find some real crime to fight.

Dear Bird,
Why did you have to poop on me durring my wedding ceremony?
Dear officiate I paid an ungodly sum of money to,
How hard is it to remember my name is Alexandra, not Adrianna, Dorian, Dori, Alissa, and NOT AlexandrIa. You married imaginary people. Why couldn't you get my name OR my now husbands name correct on our marriage license? Why did we have to go down to your crazy wacko nut job one flew over the coocoos nest church to have you correct us and then have you make a public specticle out of us.
Dear Mother,
A "Hawai'ian Lua reception" is not dinner at Uncle Dons Drive in.
1- there is NOTHING drive in about it. While you may be able to succesfuly drive a car over it, there is no way to drive up and be served. You must get out of your car.
2- I can see the entire kitchen from my rickity table.
3- the AC didn't work
4- the food was disgusting and covered in grease, which I suppose is fitting as I looked disgusting and my big white dress was covered in bird crap.
and also mother, do NOT, do freaking NOT have a little drama hissy fit attack at ME before MY wedding because I'm upset about parts of my dress not making it to Hawai'i, I spent THOUSANDS of dollars to fly out here and spend time with you and have our perfect little Hawai'ian wedding. the LEAST you could have done was uphold your part of the bargain and find an officiate. Instead you made calls 9:30 the night before my ceremony no wonder she didn't remember my name. AND I do NOT care if your "boyfriend" has a meeting later it is BULL that you pull me out of the shower and tell me we have to go NOW, I got to finger comb my soaking wet hair and zip my dress up in order to get ready for my wedding because all the sudden I don't matter.
AND
When No'hea offers to make a "special dinner" for us and you tell her not to that's one thing, when she responds with "Sara, don't be silly it's a special day this is a special thing" how DARE you, how freaking DARE you look at her and say, no it's not, it's not big deal don't go through the trouble. Just because YOU lived YOUR life not giving a crap about your children and caring more about your friends because hey we're your kids we will love you anyways doesn't mean that nobody else in the world is aloud to care. And when my husband goes to walk upstairs to our room to comfort me I can't believe you actually had the nerve to tell him "I'm sorry you have to deal with her" It was worth every penny to pack up and leave early and go stay in that 5 star luxery resort. You can kiss my giant ___.
At least my wedding was memorable, miserable, but memorable. I should have save the money and gone to a court house.
That is all.

Dear Adorian.........plaeas tell me I spelled that right.......if not you can kick me........
Mine and Cindy's wedding cost $13........we were so poor she bought her dress at Goodwill and I had a somewhat fitting suit in the closet for court.......we spent $5 to print up some invites.........my buddies paid for the liscense as we did not have enough money.........the nice lady at the church got the minister to do it for free at her home......she made us a beautiful wedding cake.........and she even took and developed photos for us...........then we got home.............yes this is wehre it gets to the story........
The answering machine was blinking.........we figured it was someone wishing us a good day and upon listening.........we heard "Hello we are trying to reach Brian Zinn.......this is officer so and so from the Peirce county Sherrifs office.......we just raided your childs mothers home and arrested her and her boyfriend on counts of Murder inthe first degree.......please come to the Anderson Island ferry dock and meet the officers there to pick up your son who is in their custody at this moment...........and a phone number to call........"
So please remember that the wedding although very important........is but one small day in the life of your new team you have formed.........together you will enjoy many ups and downs and one day be able to tell funny yet sad at the same time stories to others like I get to do.........remember it is just one day.........
Cindy has stuck by me through thick and thin........and I mean a lot of thin...........and today all these many years later we are still going strong and have become a great team..........life is starting to show us that all of our hard labor and torture has paid off and we are gettign to finally live a some what normal existance.........so remember........it was just one day...........Brian
