Today is my eighth anniversary of my starting date with my current employer. It doesn't feel like it has been that long, well, at least most of the time anyway. I didn't know exactly what I was getting into at the time and there are days when I am still completely clueless, but it has been a good ride thus far and I am thankful for the opportunity that I have been given. I have had the pleasure of working with some great people and have made some awesome friends, plus I have gone places that I would have never had the chance to see (and some rinky-dink spots I never knew existed). While not perfect by any means it has been a good home for me and I plan on staying there for a long time yet.
