    Today is my Birthday (see my profile and do some math):-D:) July was my 30th year working for the same company (Spencer Gifts) :~ April was my 31st wedding anniversary :) March my 4th Grandchild was born :) My 5th Grandchild is due in October :) I realized that I have bin married to the same woman, working at the same job for over half my life. I am either very lucky or am in a rut? :-D

      Happy birthday. In my mind,you are very lucky. :) are you still working or have retired? this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.

            You should count yourself lucky,if you enjoyed yourself at the job. I personally don't see myself spening more than ten years at anyjob. I can't find a job that i look forward to getting up and going to everyday. All the jobs i have had are the ones i wakeup, hoping i get hit by a truck on my way there. happy birthday:).

              Congratulations for having two great things with you: 1. Desire to learn and 2. An understanding wife I have only first one with me right now. No luck with second one ;) BTW, what was better, time before marriage or after that (as programmer)? Cheers, Junkie

                    Happy birthday man! In my opinion you are very lucky. Not because you are a programmer ;) but for having shared your life with someone you love. Personally, I would die 30 years in a job! Hell, 6 months and I am already getting bored ;) Pankaj Without struggle, there is no progress

                              I remember coding into a machine that output a plastic/paper tape that was feed to a card puncher to output card decks. Had to handcheck all code before entering it.
