To all my brothers and sisters in the Satellite carreer field, I have a question for you. How many of your are being diagnosed with Skin cancer? Over the last 10 to 15 years I started being diadnosed with small Basil cell carcinoma's to the recent Large Squamous cell that has taken the removal of half my face. Granted our occupation required us to be outside in the sun but the enhanced reflection of the dishes I believe have put us more at risk. I am wanting to know if the rest of you are having issues like this. Just my theory I was looking to see if it had creedance. Thanks.

FOR ALL OF THE SAT COMMS WORKERS OUT THERE!!!!
The Satellite Tech
(Author Unknown)
When the earth was created the Lord above,
Gave each man a job to work at and love... He made doctors and lawyers and plumbers and then,
He made carpenters and singers and confidence men.
And when each had a job to work as he should,
He looked them all over and saw it was good.
He then sat down to rest for a day,
When a horrible groan chanced to come His way.
The Lord then looked down and His eyes opened wide,
For a motley collection of bums stood outside.
"Oh! What can they want?", the Creator asked then.
"Help Us!", The cried out, "A job for us men."
"We have no profession." they cried in dismay,
"Even the jails have turned us away!"
The Lord said, "I've seen many things without worth,
But here I find gathered the scum of the earth!"
The Lord was perplexed and He became mad,
For all the good jobs, there was none to be had.
Then He spake aloud in a deep, angry tone,
"Forever and ever ye mongrels shall roam.
Ye shall freeze in the summer and sweat when it's cold.
Ye shall work on equipment that's dirty and old."
"Ye shall crawl under raised floors and there cables lay.
Ye shall be called out at midnight and work through the day.
Ye shall work on holidays and not make your worth.
Ye shall be blamed for all the down time on earth."
"Y shall watch all the glory go to Software and Sales.
Ye shall be blamed if their system then fails.
Ye shall be given little or no respect,
Ye shall be called a Satellite Tech."
AMEN
Brother!!!!!
