Could’ve been 5 years
September 11, 2006Today is the 5th year anniversary of the 9.11 WTC bombing. Short silence to remember those who were part of that day - people who perished, survived, missed, or whatever.
Today marks my 5th year (and one day - unofficial orientation day didn't count.) anniversary as one of the many corporate slaves. Could've been 5 years there, could have that 5 year separation pay, could've gotten one of those wristwatches for the "loyalty" awardees.
Someone asked if there were any regrets, coz my YM stat for the day was "Could've been 5 yrs". (Do I smell a rat?). My answer - no regrets. I have lived a quarter century past learning, and succeding in living life without that word. But wishful thinking - yep there were lots. I was thinking - what would I be doing on my 5th year anniversary? Probably following up testing, and supporting the friendly users around. Miss them? Oh yeah. Kat mentioned I probably got sick because I wasn't doing anything. Probably. I miss my friends, my colleagues (those classified as persons not people - yes, there's a difference just like a house and a home….) and my work.
