I regret to announce my departure from the hallowed halls of Hatrack's esteemed ranks.
Yes, I'm afraid I have actually managed to stumble into a...gasp...job! And as long as I don't show up hung over or drunk and don't download porn on my work computer, I'll still be better than the last guy.
I'll try to stick my head in from time to time, if only to badger Farmgirl for that recipe ( !), but trying to keep up with the serious threads that explode from one page to six in the course of an afternoon just isn't going to work.
I will, however, inflict my puns on unsuspecting threads just to keep my title as the Obvious One.

The vast majority of us hve jobs and still manage to come to Hatrack. Not that I'm saying you should visit from work, but no disappearing entirely.
Oh, and congratulations on the job. Posts: 7954 | Registered: Mar 2004

Good luck Trevor, both with the job and with successfully leaving Hatrack. I give you a week and a half before you're posting here from work almost as much as you were from home before you got the job.

Read some Orson Scott Card why don't you! And you can have two out of three things in life. Job, Hatrack, and sleep. Are your priorities really in line if you choose sleep?

Congratulations! I hope you like your new job. When I started posting regularly you quickly became one of my favorite Hatrackers, so I am sad to see you go. I hope you visit often.

Although I do appreciate the sentiments - obviously from people who dodged my frequent puns.
But my posts went from zero to a thousand+ in the course of a month, so I'm aiming for a middle ground. Sorta. Kinda.
Farmgirl - I still want the actual Red Lobster recipe, as noted in the shrimp lover's thread.
Technically, I'm a courier, but I also pitch in for production work in scanning and uploading documents to a company website for "e-hosting" of formerly paper records.
And since the last courier deleted a mailing list of some 257 records, I'm getting a chance to show off my Office skills. I'd offer to write him a thank-you note, but since he did that the same morning I was coming in to fill out my application paperwork, it might be considered in poor taste.
Mind you, he didn't delete any of his illegaly downloaded music or his XXX porn collection - on the office computer, no less.
I do hope they are totally re-imaging that machine before you use it. Getting ALL the porn off without a hard drive wipe will be difficult -- and the machine may never run completely right again...

I think they have, Farm - I'm not entirely sure what they did to the computer, but since my computing requirements will be kept to a minimum, I'm not particularly concerned about it.
And if their IT guy is happy, I'm not about to make waves.
Although I may download and install a couple of privacy sweepers, just to be sure since I don't know if they have any net security to speak of. Scary thought, neh?
