Tomorrow will be fourteen years since I began work for my employer. It's hard to believe. In another 14 year chunk of my life, I did high school, college, law school, and my short stint in the Army, including my first year of marriage.
What do I have to show for this 14 years? A big thick handful of pay stubs [336 of 'em if they hadn't turned to electronic record keeping a couple years ago] and a mountain of reviewed documents. Most importantly, I have a sense of gratitude for a decent job with good benefits that allow my family excellent medical care and flexible hours.

Happy anniversary! Sounds like a very good job, and a grateful employee is a blessing to any employer.
I'm grateful for my job too.
In December of 2007, my friend Anne, asked me a few simple questions:
(1) Do you have a job?
(2) Do you have health insurance?
(3) Do you have vacation benefits?
(4) Do you have a house with a roof over your head and can you afford it?
She said, that if you could answer "yes" to those questions then we were in the top 8% of the country as most don't have those luxuries.
This is all before the economic downturn.
Congratulations to you for your longevity with your employer. I will have 18 years in on 9/3/91.
And...today's attitude of gratitude is for a job and the blessings that it affords.
Live large!!
Peggy :)
