In the UK it is number of blocks cut that are recognised as the<br>
significant milestones in ones career, after cutting 100,000 blocks the<br>
Health and Safety Executive come along and count one's fingers, if<br>
they are all present and correct with no significant scar tissue<br>
then one is presented with a metal badge in the shape of an<br>
outstretched hand, this is much prized by all who receive it, although<br>
they are often greeted on their return to the laboratory by their less<br>
fortunate colleagues with the traditional Agincourt salute.<br>

This may seem really trivial......... But I was anxiously awaiting my 20<br>
year gold sticker to put on my certificate (I had received a gold sticker at<br>
10 years) and all I got was the usual sticker, although a different shape<br>
now. So I called ASCP and they told me they don't give them out for 20<br>
years, just 25 years. Well, I am not amused! I don't even know if I will<br>
be doing histology in 5 more years. Any comments? The rate we are losing<br>
histotechs, they should give them out for every 5 years.....<br>
sorry for bitchin..................... Sarah<br>
