Yesterday marked my 5 year anniversary at Novell. I got an email with a PDF certificate of recognition for my years of service. Yep, I started here on July 9th, 2001. It's hard to believe that I've been here that long. It seems like yesterday that I sat down in my own office for the very first time excited and terrified to be starting my career as a software engineer with Novell.I feel pretty lucky to have this job... sometimes even a little spoiled. I am reasonably compensated, get to work on interesting projects with interesting and intelligent people, feel like my contributions to the company are appreciated and best of all, I get to show up to work most days wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I shudder to think about having to wear a tie to work. I'm not sure that I could do it.
So, I guess that the moral of the story is that I think that I'll stick around here for a while. For another 5 years? I don't know. But I'm not in any rush to leave as long as the work continues to be interesting.

Congrats! I wonder how many times I'll get moved to another team by my five-year marker. :^) You've been on the GroupWise client this whole time, right? Is one of us an anomaly?
