Senior Staff?

Just popped in at the mega-boss to say hi, and got chatting. And found out something really interesting. Once a certain couple retires here at the end of the year, I'll be second-most-longest-employed staff member here!

That is pretty freaky. To think that I've hung around here for about a third of my life!

The strange thing is the amount of knowledge one gains after a few years in one place. You become the source of all info - the receptionist puts through calls that she doesn't know where else to place, people pop in to ask historical questions. If you've been around for years, you can become a human database!

And yet, new brooms sweep clean. There's no history to maintain, no "we've always done this" to uphold. A fresh perspective does wonders for how things are run.

Today, though, I'm feeling old. Senior staff indeed! :)
