something I am grateful for today

[johncomic]

Today was the 20th anniversary of the day I started working at my current office.  (Too bad I was off sick today, I wasn't able to actually celebrate the event on-site!)

I'll be honest, there were times in the past when I didn't always love it there, but it eventually mutated into the best job I ever had.   A combination of “becoming better at doing it” and “improved interpersonal chemistry”, I guess.  For years now my co-workers have been some of my favourite and best-beloved people, I look forward to seeing them every day, they are my social life as well as my work life.  I am in no hurry to retire from a place like this!

The first few jobs I had, I couldn't even hold onto them for twenty months... back then I would never have believed that I would see a day like today!

Well, back then you were a heroin dealer, and you abused women, and carried concealed weapons, and you did not use deodorant (not once ever), and you had intimidating face tattoos and there was literal blood on your hands, man -- blood from the babies you had choked that morning for breakfast.

You're not like that today.

It's true... I'm not.
