Something like this happened to me. I was representing a client in a matter that was resolved in less than a year, and during that period, the original client was taken over by a bigger company, and that company was then taken over by a still bigger company.

I'm still living in 1973, thank God.

Put me down as guilty for 2, 4, 7, 8, 19, and 20.

I too was a "same desk employee" where my job was the same but the company changed three times. I now have four different retirement accounts.

I still live without a cell phone or answering machine.

2 thru 7 are definitely me. In fact, I dialed the wrong number yesterday attempting to call my parents who live out of state several times. I kept dialing "9" before the number.

I just dialed "9" again just now.
