PeterMP Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I've decided to make the effort to go in a different direction with my career. It is something that has been knocking around in my brain for a while, but over the last couple of days I've really made up my mind. That means a year or two of real nose to grind stone work and cutting out my guilty pleasures including this board. I might come back and visit some, especially as the general election nears, but more less I'll be staying a way. It has been fun. One last thing, I know most people here are pretty politically concise and are likely to vote, but go vote. Even if you aren't happy with either candidate go write somebody in. I think the political parties like it when people stay home. The fewer people that vote the fewer people they have to try to influence. If enough people go in write in people, eventually somebody will say, 'Hey, there's enough write in voters to tip an election. I just have to figure out what they want in a candidate.'

iheartskins Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Peter--trust me, you'll be here. My nose is pratically completely scraped off by the grindstone and yet I still find time here and there.

helptheSKINS Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Good luck with everything. I always enjoy reading your posts.

Burgold Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Best of luck. I've enjoyed reading your thoughts. Just a warning though... although debating global warming with Portisizzle might seem like a full time job... I'm not sure if it is lucrative enough to warrant changing proffessions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpillian Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Good luck to you, Peter -- though I have to agree with the general sentiment -- you'll be back I've sworn off ES on a number of occassions, and it's never stuck. The closest I've come is to become a casual lurker -- posting and re-posting in contentious threads takes waaaaay too much time. BTW -- what is the endeavor you are pursuing?
