A sad day for me

scaeagles · 08-11-2006, 09:00 AM

Well, today marks the last day of an era for me. For 10 years, 2 months, I have been self employed, working from a home office, able to distract my mind from certain tedium with sometimes (often) lengthy excursions into the LoT.

Monday, I will be in a cube farm (though thankful for the opportunity) where, as an employee of someone else, I would not feel right to take such excursions, and I'm certain they would not be permitted anyway.

So, while I will be around, I will no longer be able to keep up with all the interesting and intelligent people around here, and this makes me quite sad. I'll get on in the evenings, I'm sure, but there is no way I'll be able to read a couple 100 posts and respond as I would love to and have done for these 18 months (or so) of the existance of the LoT.

I will truly miss it.

Your presence will be missed.
Come back and join us when you can, and know that we will miss your running witty commentary during the day.

That said, best of luck in the cube farm!
I hope your new job is a rewarding one!

Missed indeed. Although, just go ahead and ask for a show of hands of people who have made similar posts...only to be posting away a few short months later.

I am also in this club. Every once in a while I get paranoid, then I say eff it.

Best of luck with your new job, scaeagles.

I've been here just over a week, and here I am!

Leo, best of luck in your cube farm! Being gainfully employed does have perks, even in a cube farm!

We'll miss your seemingly constant presence here and hope you will be back in force as you can.

I hope I will be so fortunate.

Gemini Cricket · 08-11-2006, 09:12 AM

You'll be able to post. You just gotta know how to do it...
I didn't think I'd be able to at my current job and well...

Nephythys · 08-11-2006, 09:13 AM

nooooooooooooo

Leo- how can I survive without you!

Congrats on the new opportunities (sorry about the veal bin cubicle) but I am SO going to miss you!

Check in often!
