Anniversaries
I thought this month had two anniversaries. I was half right.
First, May 20 marked my 15th anniversary at my current employer. For fifteen years there's no plaque or anything like there is after the first decade, but they did announce it at the all hands last Monday and I got some nice emails. When I started I was the 150th employee, spread over two offices. Now we have more than 2300 employees spread across more offices than I can officially count and I've risen to a tie for 78th on the seniority list.
I also thought that May marked the 10th anniversary of when I closed on my house. I was going to write something up about that, but when I flipped through my posts I found that the tenth anniversary was back on March 14 if you go by when I closed on it, or March 24 if you go by when I moved in. Neither of those dates is in May. I did have a housewarming party, which I apparently did not write about. Maybe it was in May? Who can say? Memory is a fragile thing.
