I checked, mine was 5 years. I wear the pin when I am working, so I was pretty sure.
Then I received another email telling me, and a few others, that we would be receiving a 10 year service pin, at a lunch sponsored by the Office. I thought that was cool. The last time I received one, it was put on the desk when I showed up. Which was fine, too, I still received the pin. But this sounds like it will be more fun! And one person will get a 15 year pin! So, we shall celebrate longevity, I guess... ; )

I don't know if I mentioned it, but there is a comic I very much like. (It's a very unusual comic, a dystopian society, with animal characters, and a very involved backstory... It's called Endtown.) I have ended up writing to the gent who does the comic, and though we've not met, I like to consider him, at least a pen friend. Well, I have bought a print of his, and Husband bought two for me, so we have his art up in the house. I sent off a Christmas card, and wished him a Merry Christmas, the usual, and didn't think anything more about it.
I received a card a bit later from him, and my jaw dropped. I received, not a print, but one of his original comics, hand drawn. I quickly sent off a thank you, with probably waaaaay too many exclamation points, and now I need to get a picture frame or some such, I want to display that, too!
So, how's that for something a bit different?

Hey nice! 'Artists' like to be appreciated for what they do. He obviously was grateful.
That is cool, both a 10 year pin and getting back a personal response from your comic writing pen friend! So few people take the time to write now, prefering the simplicity of email, so he probably cherishes those who correspond with him by pen.
Retired Knitter:Yep, I do think he was! I know I was!!

Messymimi: I think that might be very much some of it, I know that I have contacted him both ways, but he is one of the very few, family, friends, etc., that actually writes back... (Along with you!) :)
