last night was my 20 yr anniversary at my job. there was a dinner at the Old Orchard Inn for all the 20 yr employees. free drinks before we even got in the dining area.
it was a great meal in a cool place overlooking the Valley.
the wife and i had a great time. our other guitar player was celebrating his 20 yrs as well. doesn't seem like 20 yrs have passed.
only 10 more to go.....

the pay is good and i get free tires which is a nice bonus.
i just received an email from our drummer who is over in Afghanistan, he is going to send me some pics of the vehicles we make tires for. should be cool.

Most people don't get the chance to stay with one company for 20 years anymore. They're downsized or the company outsources and jobs go away. That's assuming you want to work for a company for 20 years. 
Congratulations!

Awesome accomplishment, Zan. You've obviously got what it takes to go the distance!!
My wish for you is that, after making it thru the first 20, the final 10 years will be like coasting!!

20 years is a nice stretch...takes some conviction to hang that long...but then, it also counts for something if the work is good.
I'm just heading into my 13th year (actually, May 15 is the exact day I started)...working for the same basic "employer"...but I've worked my way through 2 different divisions and 4 different departments during that time.

There's a vicious rumor to that effect, but I, for one, don't believe it!
Seriously, congrats, Zan!
