I just realized that I have not been at a company for more than 2.5 years. EVER!
Me too.
Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Congratulations, Allyson! Hooray for awesome new job with added pay raise!
I've been in my current job (including a title change that changed nothing) for 5 years. I'm getting antsy.
They are the ones to watch. I was surprised how much I liked Paulina Porizkova, she looks like if she can relax a little she could get much better, and that's always fun to see. Clyde Drexler's got some real potential if he can open up some.
Not suprisingly, -t, I totally agree. Paulina has beautiful lines. She may consider herself a klutz, but her arms are very graceful. Though I hope Tom Bergeron stops beating us over the head with Heather Mills' prosthetic leg. We get it. She's the first. Let's move on.

If he really did that, I might watch it.

Our wings are not tired.
I think 2 years was the longest I ever worked anywhere before starting my business. I worked lots of places. I enjoyed temp jobs the most.

Ha, well phrased!
I'm glad the judges dinged Heather for her arms and posture - if they need to adjust their choreography for her I'll cut her some slack, but the prosthetic is not a free pass. We can hope that next week they will assume we all know and stop rtelling us over and over, but that isn't really likely, I'm afraid.

I really enjoyed the few actually temporary jobs I've had - going in and doing something that needs doing for a few days and then leaving is very satisfying. Unfortunately, most of my placements through temp agencies have been long term, or turned into long term, and those are just regular jobs with extra hoops to jump through.

Somewhere along the line, my jobs turned into a career. I think the difference is really that you have an emotional connection to what you do... maybe I should say a "mostly positive" emotional connection to the work.

I've been working for the same company for 19 1/2 years. A couple of title changes/promotions and switches in responsibility over the course of that time, but we're small enough that I'm still doing some of the things I did back in the late 80s.

I've been at the same university for five years. Not the same position, but the same employer. of course, I just applied for another job.
