It's true. I do all that except for 3 and 6 (if you count site saff as staff) and you pretty much get a feel for all the new stuff. There is always the nostolgic feeling of the old days if you've been here longer than even 3 months, but you just keep going. It's like a constant in your life thats always changing.
