25 year service anniversary gift from my employer

[wwillson]

Today is my 25th service anniversary at work and I got an email with some money I could spend on a gift for myself from a catalog. I was unexcited about the hundreds of items I looked at until I saw this:

It will be here in a few days.

Lol, I couldn't even get my 5 year pin 5 years ago because I didn't hit my 5 year mark on the one year that they did the pins.

Didn't get my 10 year, because you had to go to the employee lunch, which after working all night, I could do without.

Congrats on 25 years!!

Nice. You'll get good use out of that.

 

[dishdude]

Congrats!

Very nice choice!

I have been fortunate enough to remain self-employed for nearly 20 years now.

My boss is tough! Every day I usually stick to a $7 food budget. Lucky for me, I do have an on-site chef who often watches food channels while I work.

25 years? Outstanding. Wayne, I know your employer is lucky to have you. And I know you love what you do. A win-win for sure!

Oh yeah, can I borrow the ratchet?

And I know you love what you do.

No two days are ever the same and I get to touch some pretty cool stuff. Like a 3.1 Tb/s trunk today. That will make a network guy's heart go pitter patter.

Oh yeah, can I borrow the ratchet?

Sure come on over, it's a short drive.

3.1 terabytes per second is a flat out massive transfer rate. What in the world do you do with that bandwidth? Some crazy AI analytics? Oh yeah, I forgot, BITOG stuff...

Congratulations Wayne.

The amount of traffic flying around is astounding. The Jericho3 can switch 28.8 Tb/s in a single chip the size of a quarter.

Congrats. I would have probably chosen what you did........ I mean I have always wanted one.......

Very nice. I’ve got a 1/4” Ryobi that’s pretty good, but bulky compared to that.

Next year is my 10 year. We get a gold ring with sapphires and diamonds. Not a jewelry guy but I’m excited, might have to actually wear it.

15 years I chose a gun safe!
10 years I chose a nice Breville toaster oven - still works great - but looks used hahahahahahaha

Five times X is life?
A drill driver would be nice
Alas, a vacuum

Congrats!!

 

[UncleDave]

Awesome milestone, and great gift. Congrats.

These ratchets are great, you muscle to break and final tighten and it does everything in between.

 

[Pterostylis]

Congrats.
Nice choice, I’ve been thinking about cordless ratchets recently.

My company forgot about my 10 year anniversary and gave me a certificate celebrating 11 years. No gifts though.
