Work Anniversary

I almost forgot about this one. Fortunately I am a nerd and added it as a recurring date on my Google calendar many years ago. Today is a noteworthy day, but this date next year will be a much more important occasion.

On this date, July 12, in the year 2004 I started a new job. 19 years later, I’m still here. 19 years, one promotion, countless reorganizations, one wedding, one house purchase, two high school graduations, one college graduation (and counting), one ridiculously invasive stomach surgery, and one continuing global pandemic later, and I am still here.

My 19th workaversary is a big deal, but my 20th next year… that will be a big deal. We’ll see what happens in the meantime. For now at least, go have a piece of cake or something to celebrate for me. You know, have the kind of sugary thing that I can’t eat anymore in honor of me not getting sacked at all over the last 19 years.

  1. CONGRATULATIONS! That’s quite an achievement. The longest job I ever had lasted 12 years, and I pretty much hated every minute of it, so I’m in awe of your accomplishment.

  2. On a different note, I was listening to your music and I have to say that it gives me the vibe of riding in the open road. Suddenly, I found myself on the coast, driving with no destination in mind. Just me and the road and the ocean that’s keeping me company. Thank you.
