Heh. :)  I won't tell you how long my dad worked for the same company, 
then. ;-)

Yeah, Jean had commented that she'd seen so many managers, department 
name changes, and reorganizations that she couldn't keep them straight 
any more.  Add to that that she thought I'd been around for longer than I 
really was (we worked together for only about 4 years) and it got really 
confusing - she'd say "You remember Anne somebody?" - to which I'd have 
to say "Who?" "You know, our old manager".....Well, not *mine*. :-)
