Poll question: What is the longest you've worked at the same job?
I have it weighted on the low end because people seem to switch jobs more often these days.

1. I have yet to keep a job for a whole year
It's OK since I'm still in school but I know a lot of you have had job troubles for real and I feel you.

President John Kerry will improve the job market.

6. heading on 4
with my current job, so that makes it the winner. I've always bounced around a lot. I ran my own business for 8 years, but Bush managed to fuck that up for me.

7. I retired four years ago after being with the same outfit 35 years.
I don't think that sort of thing happens much in today's world.

I was ready to leave. It wasn't fun any more.
