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).
Mal: Well, look at this! Appears we got here just in the nick of time. What does that make us? Zoe: Big damn heroes, sir.
'Safe'
Natter 77: I miss my friends. I miss my enemies. I miss the people I talked to every day.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
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!
You definitely want tiaras!

Thrive to spite them
When I hit 5 years I'll get a gift card but I can't remember how much. A gift card to our store but you know I'm not going to knock that considering how many nice things you can get. We had one employee reach her 30 year mark and she got a $500 gift card.
I would like a tiara for a work anniversary present.
