Hello everyone. This is a giveaway signup thread. (WINNER PMed)

On October 28th 1980 I started working for my company. SOOOOOOO, tomorrow is the last day, of my 28th year of employment. image I still like my job (most of the time) image
And for my anniversary I'm having a giveaway. image

The prize is going to be a 1980 P-D uncirculated coin set. image

It will be a random draw.

I'll decide when to end the signup later.

When you sign up: Tell me, how long you have had your job, or your longest job, or how long married, if longer. If your in school, what grade?

imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage

PS
Back at my 25th anniversary time, I told my boss He should forget about a Rollex.
Instead he should give me a 1" Long handel Allen wrench. Made of Bullion grade gold. He liked that. Needless to say, I didn't get one. image
(Old man) Look I had a lovely supper, and all I said to my wife was, “That piece of halibut was good enough for Jehovah”.

(Priest) BLASPHEMY he said it again, did you hear him?

    My boss is a wonderful guy, I'm self-employed and have been since 1990. My other "boss" and I have been married 40 years as of last July. We have lived at this address now for nearly 25 years so I'd say I have sticktooitiveness.
    Thanks for the chance for the set.

    Holy smokes!
    You don't hear of that type of longevity these days (especially not in the field I am in). I've been at my job for 12+ years now and am in the "top" 15% or so of longevity here (out of just under 100k folks worldwide). 28 years would put someone in the top 10 I think.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    My first job lasted 9 years.
    Then, 2 years each for 2 jobs...the actual should end shortly (it lasted more than 2 years)

    I have been married for 3 months (this week)!

    Thanks again!

    I accidently started my profession in television production as a senior in high school with a part time camera man job... that was 1991.
    Somehow it's 19 years later & I'm still working in television. Happy to say I still enjoy the profession & challenge. I wish I could say I felt
    the same way for the deterioration news coverage and main stream television media in general .

    Thanks & congrats!

    Many, many jobs over the years. 6.5 years in the last one which ended two weeks ago today.

    But, I can brag that I've been together with my wife for over 41 years now and happily still counting!

    Off and on collecting for over 50 years.

    33 years in the same profession- with several different companies.

    married 7 years this time, we won't mention the other 2.

    I'm tired of working- have all of you paid your taxes and are up to date? I want to file for welfare and I need to make sure you have all paid in..


    have a great day!
