But more aware that management comes and goes. Honestly, I think I experienced the nadir of management back in 2001 so things don’t bother me that much anymore. I could tell stories…
10 months to go to before I hit 20 years though. Maybe things will change then.
It’s been a good gig by and large. The work is often interesting, it pays the bills, there are always new things to learn (though I definitely feel I’m a little behind the curve in picking up new features these days). And there’s a certain satisfaction in being the person that people go to when they need something to get done or need a question answered. And knowing who the other people in the company are who are in that category also helps.

We get more and more grumpy ... I think some of that is forgetting and then re learning things you forgot. Plus at times knowing how something is going to "fall apart" and trying to avoid that but well ...
Plus the grumpy gig is effective.
The looks part ... ahh we look like the Jets from West Side Story ... after getting jumped and tossed into the Hudson ...
