Goodbye for now, my friends ...
Hey guys, effective tomorrow I am leaving my job, as I am being downsized with a severance package.
(Do not worry, this is actually a very good thing. Well, should be or will be eventually.)
Sooooo ... since I do the majority of my Beckettness while I'm at work, I will be taking a (hopefully short) break from trading, posting, etc.
I have sent a couple of PMs out to members I have pending trades with, and the only other one I had completed I just sent out, so I'm trying to wrap up loose ends tonight.
If it's longer than a short break, then, well, I appreciate everything you guys have done for me with all the trades, witty banter and what not.
I'll be here tonight, and then I'll talk to you when I talk to you.
Later! RJ

I'm not fond of wasting my time with folks who can't bother replying to trades or pms. If I don't reply, you're probably on the ignore list.

It was a final straw kind of thing, time to move on with my life. Thanks man!

"... since I do the majority of my Beckettness while I'm at work", and you were downsized????
I find that odd, but best of luck. Being unemployed is never fun.

RE: Goodbye for now, my friends ...
One of the best things that ever happened to me was getting laid off from a job and being unemployed for a few months.
I ended up getting a great job and one that I appreciate greatly. I like to think things happen for a reason.
Best of luck to you and hope to see you in the near future!

I work at a newspaper, so the majority of my workload was toward the end of the night, at deadline ... much slower earlier in the day, hence the Beckettness.
But yeah, I was wondering if someone might catch that, LOL

That's what I am hoping, my good man.
I WILL return, with a vengeance!
