Sometimes its hard to believe we've been around for so long. Earlier in the year, Ajaya passed his 5 year anniversary with the company, and recently Ravi did as well. Jeremy's 5 year will be coming up shortly. Looking back upon all the amazing work done by these folks, all the dedication and excellence and customer accolades, it seemed appropriate to do something special for their 5 year anniversary. So, inspired by the service of these 3, the company is announcing this week the 5-5 plan: on an employee's 5th year anniversary of service, we will provide a few tokens of our appreciation:

- A company announcement and blog entry
- A lunch or dinner with Ed
- A certificate of achievement
- A company gift
- A modest $5000 bonus

As Kristina pointed out in her announcement earlier in the week, this is our way of saying "Thank You" for your reliability, professionalism and support day after day, year after year.

I can only hope that we'll be contemplating a 10 year program in the not too distant future!
