Yesterday Hubs had a milestone at work.
March 26, 2014 marks his 30th anniversary with the huge corporation he works for.
They presented him with this plaque at a special meeting on Monday.......
I am so proud of him for sticking it out at his company.
The only thing he's done longer than working there is being married to me(32 years in August).
Hmmm....maybe he deserves even MORE kudos for that accomplishment. ;-)
He started out there in an entry level position in 1984.
We were living in the basement bedroom of his parent's house in NJ at that time.
He had undergrad and graduate student loans, I had a Chevy Chevette, and we owned a kitchen table and chairs and not much else of any value.
30 years later, he's a director at his company(having worked his way up one step at a time through 3 different divisions), we live in a large home in PA(paid off in 2007), have (almost)raised 3 kids, put 1.5 of them through college(so far), paid off the student loans(in about 1989), and have saved almost enough for our retirement.
We were able to do this jointly due to his putting in his time for 30 years, no matter how much he didn't want to be there sometimes, and me keeping an eagle eye on whatever salary they paid him.
I bet if he had remained single all those years, he'd still be writing checks for cups of coffee at the cafeteria, living in an apartment, dressing badly, and spending all his free time and money buying books and attending chess tournaments.
But that's a post for another time. lolz
Today I celebrate Hubs and his accomplishment.
How many folks today can say they've been employed at the same company for 30 years?
Unfortunately he is in Hartford right now, because of his job, so the celebration will have to wait for a bit.
Three cheers for my guy!!!
