Amazingly, I have been at this job for 4.5 years as of today.
This is now probably the second longest I’ve ever had a job.
The other longest times I’ve ever had a job were:
Wang Labs (9/1985-5/1989) – laid off as Wang declined
Interim/Spherion (8/1997-11/2001) – basically laid off due to 9/11.
The shortest job (professional) was:
Pixel Computers (6/1984-7/1984) – hired in 4/1984 before graduation, laid off after 3 ½ weeks due to company money troubles, the start up folded by December 1984.
Alan woke up in a good mood today. His forehead has finally healed up – no more scrapes or need for a bandaid. The Nexcare waterproof ones I got seem to have kept his hands off (or perhaps it was because they had the “Cars” stuff on them.)
His communication skills are getting better and better. He still likes his TV a bit too much and needs to go to bed earlier but he can ask for specific stuff and tell you things as well as do pretend play. I had a mega blox dragon and knight I’d had put aside for whatever and he saw it. So I opened it last night and he had fun playing with it, flying the dragon with the knight on it.
Tonight we go out to dinner with my MIL. We were going to do so last night, but it was going to rain just as I got home late. Her birthday was yesterday. Tomorrow, Alan gets a haircut that he needs for the summer and we have to go to my SILs to hook stuff up for her (at least it’s all in 1 place for now).
