I just had my 10th anniversary at my job, and my society's director apparently informed all the Editors-in-Chief I've ever worked with. Three of them have sent me notes telling me how wonderful I am and how working with me was "the best part" of being EiC. I forwarded them all to my boss and my boss's boss, and you can bet I'll be pointing to them come salary review time. Accolades make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It almost makes this insane job worth it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Except now they're saving it for special occasions.
Like, Sunday? (I wouldn't was JBM on work coffee. I'd save if for a relaxing morning)
Can you make hummus with bacon fat? Maybe I'd like that.
Hmm, I don't know. I wonder how the texture would be because bacon fat is not liquid at room temperature. Perhaps an experiment . . .

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I save my Kona coffee for special occasions. I call them, "mornings." I technically own other coffee, but it is foul dreck, fit only for consumption of desperation.
What about goose grease? I bet hummus made with goose grease would be yum.
This is our ninth year at our current jobs. The mind, it boggles. I always previously used to get antsy around five years. Like if I somehow stuck with a job too long, I'd have committed too much of my life and identity with it. This one, that's water under the bridge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Like, Sunday?
This is what I said. Someone suggested to one of them that Valentine's Day was appropriately special, and he gave one of the most derisive laughs I've ever heard. Warmed my heart, it did. What heart there is left.

There is that. But in the spirit of adding to the amassed knowledge of the human race!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've never been at a job longer than about three years.

Can you make hummus with bacon fat? Maybe I'd like that.
Only one way to find out!

I've been at the University for 8 years, but this job for only 3. Ironically, I loved the two jobs that I had before this one that I have been at for the longest.

I was at my previous job for 8 years. I could see staying at my current one for another 2 or 3, depending on how things go.
