It's likely that you'll get canned there, sooner or later. I'm in a similar situation, but temporarily sidelined caring for my folks (dementia). I recently had a boss who's been managing tech since '63. He started at 5am and finished around 7PM, every day.
Scenario out all the options. A non tech path. A tech/detail path, a management path. A path in a segment that doesn't exist yet. A path that's a total fresh start. We tend to believe we're in control of more than we are. Whatever you do, it may not matter. You're going to work past the current of Social Security, because it'll be a higher age by the time we get there. Your work life will likely end about age 70-72. Social demographers expect that you will have 2 or possibly 3 careers between now and then. (and post in forums with a younger median age)
test G counters with a mantle for a gas lantern, like Colman. it's a strong short range source, so when you hold it an inch or 2 away, it'll be loud. anything thats that loud, worry about. less than that, don't worry about. That's what I learned in a Nuke Med R&D/mfg facility.
Who for and where? Net topology is never carpet-flat. US policy is owned by the lobby, S korea has great indidual bband rates, and comapare China, India, and Pakistan's ideas of a backbone. Just getting bband in a low\middle income urban neighborhood or past the exurbs is still nuts. We are on a plateau that will continue to occupy for sometime.

They still havent learned thier lesson. The major oil & gas companies all share the US pipeline sytems, and the sytem of accounting attatched to it makes Enron look like an amish community. (In texas, pipelines are almost as important as high school football. Almost)
There is no honest broker in the backbone game. There are no believable numbers.
I like that I can hold the Trackman in my hand. Cleaning it is pain though, and you have to do it frequently. It's the price you pay unless you want to wash you hands so often you'd be called OC.
