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?
