Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

The only time I got one of those anniversary gift choices, I got jewelry that I could sell. All I want from a company is cash and benefits.

I did really like the InstantPot that I could select at 20 years. Probably because it came when I was going to buy an InstantPot AND in March 2020 AND I continue to use it constantly. But I guess that was basically money, because I just didn't have to spend mine on a thing I was aleady planning on buying.

The silver bowl was super dumb, and I think I just didn't select 10 or 15 years because there was nothing I wanted.

They also sent us a travel mug instead of the free dinner in March 2020, which was kind of humerous, because we were not traveling!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just hit 5 years and am getting two mugs. All of the choices are branded, and I didn't really want any of the other options (scarf, throw, water bottle, watch).

I don't think I've ever worked anywhere that gave length-of-service awards! And also I've never worked anywhere for five years.

While I will be 22 years at the same place (not the same job) in March! It is pretty easy to remember because I started full time in 2000 (although I did work at the Eastman Theatre (part of the same entity) on a contract basis since 1995. It seems easier to do in a city when basically one employer is the University, the Hospital, the art gallery and the theatre.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think this is the first place I’ve worked for more than 2 years. I used to be pretty peripatetic but I’ve let inertia get the better of me.

Definitely the longest I’ve worked anywhere—I think max was 4 years before this. I’m tempted to leave but in the past I got laid off my first three jobs and then my 4th job, before this, I quit/got this job when they cut our benefits.

Wow. In my small city I literally can’t think of another place to work that isn’t another, smaller, college, back to retail, or taking a civil service exam!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I've worked here for over 30 years, but no catalog of gifts.

You are overdue for giving yourself a gift! Make it something nice.

Y’all this made me think I want tiaras. Dang!
