Belated heads-up that I will be on vacation for the next week. Probably will not have Internet access. Will be back July 8.
Super belated heads-up that I'm moving on Friday. I'll be lurking and will probably post occasionally, but for the most part expect me to be getting accustomed to my new digs and unable to perform any of my staff duties until the beginning of September.
Surprising absolutely no one, I am officially ready to get back to my staffly duties.
I'm going to be mostly unavailable (though probably lurking) from Dec. 23 through January 2. I'm off to the Bahamas for Christmas.
I'm taking an indefinite sabbatical, effective as of now. I'm not leaving the site but am stepping down from all my roles on CO, Disc, and Forum Crit. taylor_itkin has graciously accepted the CO Captainship because he can do a much better job than me.
I know I said it in the seminars chat, but please take care of yourself. I'm sad to see you go, and I hope everything is alright in your life. You're a wonderful person ARD. Never stop being you. (I know you're not leaving leaving but its sort of a good bye for now type thing.)
I've got some big shoes to fill. Promise to make you proud.
We spoke already, but I'm gonna miss you, dude.
Take it easy buddy. Do what you need to do, figure out what you need to figure out. Maybe we will see you back on staff some other random day. If not, that will be fine too. Take care legend. :)
Damn.
Well, it's surprising but if you need to do that, do what you gotta do and take care of yourself. You (and Coony as well) give me, a while ago, the chance to join your ranks and, even if we hadn't spoke too much these days, it was still a pleasure and an honor to have you as a captain.
Godspeed.
Godspeed, my friend. May whatever path is ahead of you take you where you desire to be.
