I retired

Shannymara · Posted: Tue Aug 26, 2008 7:02 pm Post subject: I retired

Just wanted to let everyone know I have retired myself from the Admin job here. It was... quite a learning experience! I hope I was helpful rather than harmful on balance.

I made this decision on my own, for several reasons.

I want everyone to know that I think the volunteer staff here are all very committed to doing things fairly and in the best interests of the community here (that's you).

Thanks to all the members and staff for the interesting times, and the opportunity to serve.

Thumbs up Shanny! Of course you're not going away.....

This place is like a spiders web!

Thanks for helping with the unruly mob, and everything else of course.

You're a good-vibe sister and a class act, Shanny. We all love ya.

No, not going away, Drew. Smile

I don't think I could manage that.

Thanks for the kind words, all. Gives me warm fuzzies.

Not exactly sure what Admins really do here (or at any site, for that matter). But I'm sure you did your job wonderfully and I'm appreciative, especially since it was a free service (sorry I'm too cheap to pony up some cash; I need it for preps). Best of luck with your endeavors.

She quits, then is dragged back to semi retired and slaves away for months, and then only when she retires for good do we realize how much we will miss her in the role of semi-retired-admin!

I am glad you are sticking around, I am just getting back into enjoying the depressing place I know as Peak Oil Dot Com and if you left the place would lose one of its leading lights.

Don't you dare me leaving us, you are one of the few higher-ups who don't pick on me. It would make me sad, I might cry.

Thanks, Shanny, for being the most gracious hostess!
