For my age, I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s stupendously awesome and depressing mudane.  <\/p>\n<p>  I have been gainfully employed by the same employer for the previous 365 days, supposedly.  I say supposedly, because it&#8217;s all kinda relavent on what is considered employment anniversaries.  I guess it was this time last year I started working again for Michael Foods.  I accepted a part-time position as a Maintenance Dept. Intern for lack of better overall description.  In this capacity, I got to wonder the whole of Michael Foods Gaylord Production Plant.  Quite a feat in itself really.  I got to catalog and recatalog almost every piece of machinery that is used in this production facility and then input into the computer system.  For joy.  <\/p>\n<p>  I whole-heartedly suggest standing on a black roof on a sunny day in the middle of August, trying to write down serial numbers of a giant intake fan, while trying to keep a bumch of papers from slipping from your grasps.  Fun indeed.<\/p>\n<p>  From thence, I bounced around the internship gauntlet to HR, where I got to be the voice of the plant ~ &#8220;Good Afternoon, Michael Foods&#8230;. Michael speaking&#8221;.  Although I think I only got a chuckle outta the one person who maybe actually asked who was answering the phones.  If only I could&#8217;ve told them, yes I own the company and for fun, I occassionly run the phones.  Ah, what a dream.  Anywho, all these endeavors led to me applying and being hired full-time as a Microbiology Lab Technician for the Quality Assuarance Dept. some 7+ months ago.  <\/p>\n<p>  So, I&#8217;m not really sure which dates anniversaries I should celebrate,<br \/>\nJune 20th: my first day of employment with them<br \/>\nNovember 7th: my first day of full-time employment<br \/>\nor<br \/>\nNovermber 1st: supposedly the day they backdated my employment to.<\/p>\n<p>  Not sure.  I guess the only importance is that I&#8217;ve made it this long which is kind of an odd feeling.  But now I should be able to fully vest myself in a 401(k), which is very tantilizing in itself.  Oh and the cantor for coffee\/liquids and almost fancy certificate sure make me wanna keep charging forward.<\/p>\n<p>Bring It On!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wow, wow, wow.
