Dave P. and I (Jeremy) were reminded that the end of September means yet another anniversary of our original hire dates at Ideal Technology Solutions in 1996; he in early September or so, me in late September or so. You can look at this a few different ways, but basically we have not changed jobs for 13 years… though the job(s) changed radically underneath us!

So, given that the economy is garbage, times are tough, and there’s not much to celebrate much of the time, I used this as an excuse to call for perhaps an unnecessary cigar and a likely undeserved drink in a potentially inappropriate celebration of this quite improbable occasion.

So we got together for “whatever this is” on Thursday the 24th at Roosevelt’s at 27843 Orchard Lake in Farmington Hills. It was nice to see Ken, especially since he just parted company with the company days before. It was nice to see Jason, and in his attempt to pick up *my* tab in a thankful gesture for some earlier stuff, he accidentally ended up thanking quite a few of us! Whoops, and thanks Jason.

Heck it was nice to see everyone in attendance: Ken M., Dana, Steve M., Bob P., Jeff B., Scott S., Ron B., Jeremy P., Dan, Ron’s buddy Steve, Barry H., and Barry’s cousins Josh and Justin.

And did I mention Jason was kind enough to take some blurry pics too..? 😉
