So… Today marks my 40th anniversary of starting at IBM. I can vividly  remember my first day walking into the building on August 3, 1981… I remember they let me shoot  a fire extinguisher add a chair as part of our safety training… That’s probably one of the most important things I learned at Ibm…

Honestly it’s been a really  great ride. challenging, entertaining.. Sometimes bewildering….. never boring.. and  (almost)  always fun. I think I’m at 80 countries and counting…for work related travel,  Thousands of friends… And four  decades  very cool technology.

I woke up feeling very very grateful for having found this job, in such a wonderful place… and  such wonderful people…

I even met the love of my life Diane courtesy of Ibm.

thanks to all the folks who wrote to mark my 40th ..   I think you can see some of what they said and a whole lot of pictures   here

Wow.. 40 years.. ..I swear  it only feels like 39 !

nite all, nite sam
