      About due for a holiday then? Well done. I will be here 15 years in March, same office, same old faces, just considerably more salary than when I started.

        Congratulations. If this was all in the same company, you might get one of those "long term service" awards.

        The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick

          Congrats though I can't imagine being at the same place for that length of time: more of a jail sentence than a job.

              I hear that. I started as a "Powder Monkey" in the mixing plant on about 10 bucks an hour. I now spend upward of AUD30M PA on ...um stuff (mostly white powder). :laugh: For the Company of course.

                  After 10 years I received a VERY nice Raymond Weil watch. I won't even get a pat on the back today.
