current job, will be 8 years in the fall if I'm still employed.

it was my first job out of college... I like it enough that I'm not actively looking elsewhere, though I've gone on a few interviews when friends or friends-of-friends knew of openings. I don't think I'd jump ship unless a new job offered me a significant pay increase, though (like, 10-15K/year more)

17 years and will be out of a job next month...company closing.

Yikes! Now, I'll know how it feels to be getting unemployment benefits.
