Default Doesn't time fly?

# it was twenty years ago today ...

.... that I started work full time for LUL.

No wonder I resemble an old wreck ;-)

Only another 5 to go before I get my 25 years "long service" award and
can then keep my staff pass and other travel benefits for life.

Now then, the bus pass is safe and you've got until Bully's special
prize board revolves to decide if you want to gamble the cash for this
weeks prize... it's... a speedboat...

I'm not quite sure whether to say "congrats" or "commiserations".

Whichever one would make you happier.

In a similar vein I've been with the same IT employer for 15yrs next month.

That ain't to bad for the industry really.

I keep on getting shares each year, so I'm actually rather happy where I
am - which is rather quite rare in this sector.

Hmm, I had similar feelings in May when I'd been running K2 for 20
years. Didn't get a badge.

someone tried to chop it in half or (ii) they are hands parting the

Nice shot at post-modern irony there, but I'm worried that it might
pass more than a few people by.
