Passing the torch

49,665 5,114 September 21, 2011 at 05:55 AM in Travel & Vacations
Ok figured I'd better post this now while it's still early enough, lol.

I've had a Lot of fun doing the Secret Santa these past couple years. However last year it took a surprising amount of hours away from my family and I promised that I most likely wouldn't do it again this year. With Patrick out of town for a lot of October/November/December I know the kids would rather I spend more time with them than so much time doing this. I talked with them again and I really think I need to step down. Also some personal stuff going on that will take up some of my time. I feel kinda sad because I did enjoy running it and meeting new people and reconnecting with older members but I feel like this is what I need to do.

Whoever is chosen to run it this year, I'll be more than happy to help if they have any questions or anything. And I'll definitely participate...to be honest I kinda missed it, though I always thought it would be strange to pair myself up with someone laugh out loud Anyway I'm sorry I didn't post this sooner, I kept going back and forth about it and finally decided I just needed to bite the bullet and post this, lol.

Thank you for the past couple of years and for letting me run it. I had a lot of fun. Smilie

At least the shoes are greased up with bacon grease. Easier to fit into.
As opposed to yours with french fry grease?

I don't think the SS coordinator should start out being bitter. Ending up that, way? Yeah, maybe. laugh out loud

I'll throw a vote in for Jen.

You're one of the most bitter loungers I know, Pig. Mad

I also can't bring myself to vote for someone who says, "wot?" Annoyed



Wait...are you really running? laugh out loud

I can think of a few choice words for you, but bitter isn't one of them.

I was going to ask what words. Really, you probably can't say much about me that someone hasn't already said to my face. laugh out loud

Either you and/or Finzz, since it is a big job and she's been a helper the past few times. Seems like a 2 person job anyway.

Autumn, whatever is going on at home and otherwise I wish you the very best. You will be missed but hopefully you will sign up! Wink
