I echo what Michelle has written 100%. I LOVE what I do even on the worst of days (and believe me there have been a few butes lately), but all in all its a great career and I love the people I work with as well. I haven't been able to say that in the past and it has made a huge difference. It's part of the reason I have been with the same company for 5 years now. I truly enjoy the boss I have (he's one of the best I've had in a long time). Plus yes people do come and go but the core group of people are still there (even after our merge with another company). These folks are wonderful to work for and with. They know they can rely on me under any circumstance. If they need extra time from me I am more than willing to provide it to get the job done! It's been a wonderful 5 years at this company and I have learnt alot along the way, which I guess is why I'm still at this position, I'm not bored yet. I've been in other jobs that after a couple of years I'm bored to death, then its time to move on. So far I've been able to get enough training to enhance the career I have and make myself more valuable to the company for it in the long run. I would be happy to stay as long as my current employer will have me.
