    18. Being a Cable Technician

    Welcome to Vitamae. The topic for today is "Being a Cable Technician". This is how I began my career in the technical field.  It is one of my favorite jobs and recommend that others gain experiencing working as a cable technician, especially if they are working towards a network engineer background. Takeaways: It is a dirty job. You are exposed to the outside elements of weather changes, a variety of homes made of different shapes and sizes, dealing with animals, and more. It takes perseverance to learn the very challenging process of troubleshooting the unknown.  Too many expect that we can see through the walls when in essence we make an educated guess of where the cable routes, the splitters, junctions that we go through, how to navigate in attics, basements, or behind different obstacles to service the cable broadband and telephony service calls and installations. You will meet many people of different backgrounds. It is a great learning experience by understanding how to manage your own jobs independently.   I learned to appreciate and gain insights on how to run cables in the homes and how cable broadband and telephony services are installed.

    17. Losing a Loved One

    Welcome to Vitamae. The topic for today is "Losing a Loved One". It is my story of my father's passing on April 6, 2021. Takeaways: Understanding estate planning such as wills and trusts. Knowing to ask for help and that it takes time to grieve. Collect important files and information like life insurance, pensions, and financial details for the widow or remaining beneficiaries. It will take time to address any properties, services that need to be canceled and arrange the funeral home after your loved one passes. Do not allow others to make decisions for you on behalf of your family's wishes.  Be patient and be kind to yourself.
