Today we had our bi-monthly in-service at work. I got a "1 year of service pin". This is really exciting, because I usually get mad at my job and quit or get bored and decide to try out a new field. I have had 7 jobs in two and half years... I have almost quit here like 6 times now, like applied for a new job and everything.

I also won the door prize today; I got two coffee mugs, coffee, hot chocolate, and cookies.

That's so good! That is really something to be proud of! Only last week was my 1 year at my workplace, too - I struggled to stay in a job for longer for the same kind of reasons. Definitely exciting news for you

Congrats . A year is normally the most I can stick to a job before I get bored, and I think of quitting numerous times. I've just left my job just shy of the one year mark and I start a new one next week.
Do you see yourself being there longer now?

I am not really sure honestly, right now things are going really well; but it is hard to say how I will be/feel in a month or even tomorrow. So I couldn't say for sure. I have tried to apply at other places probably like 6 times since I worked here, but never got an interview so it would always end up keeping me there long enough until I didn't have the motivation and/or desire to leave.

I actually just got back from my work a few minutes ago. Nobody wanted to stay out and do stuff tonight so I bought donuts and drove up there (it is 30 miles) and surprised the night shifters. I had also made little smokies today for some reason so I took them those also. Everyone was really happy about it.

that's exciting!

glad their are good things happening to you.

I know what you mean, sometimes I think I'm making a mistake leaving, and other times when they really mess me over I know I'm good to be getting out of there. It's nice spending time with work colleagues, and it's good to mix with different people. The people I worked with are very different from my friends outside work but that's refreshing . Also yay donuts!

That's awesome!

Just got to check back on here, I had to work from 1730 Saturday to 0700 today.

Thanks for the replies everyone, it is nice to see people who understand why this is an accomplishment! I shared this with a few others and they didn't seem to understand why it was.
