    As a former HR person, I'd hate to be the one verifying all of that past employment.... eck!

    - Current: The Vanguard Group
    - ICE (can't even remember what it stands for anymore. I was there for a couple of weeks, but it exchanges time shares for a cruise)
    - Pearson Government Solutions
    - Summit Benefit Services
    - Argenbright Security

    My longest is my current job at Vanguard, 7 years. The shortest was ICE, 1 week 1/2.
