Yesterday I received a thanks-for-five-years-of-service award from my company. (I will have been there six years at the end of January.)
I was unable to either go pick up the award or attend the ceremony because, thanks to our post-several-rounds-of-layoffs skeleton crew, I was insanely busy all night.
I just got my five-years-of-service certificate and gift at work, too. It’s a little crazy to think I’ve been there that long given all the extra work they pile on.
