The time has come...

..........I'm off.
After 4 years of being in Comms it's time for a change.
I'm not leaving the company though, I've got a new role in what is now Engineering (but still called Dev to all of us ).
I'll be heavily involved in the project process, which is a continuation of what I've done from the Comms side for the last couple of years.
Today is my last day in Comms, but I expect I'll still pop into the forums from time to time. :)
Thanks for the laughs (and the grey hairs :P), and be nice to the new guys in my absence.

So, you are giving up the baseball bat for a large size monkey wrench then?  :D

There'll be some CSC staff breathing sighs of relief now. ;)
Anyway thanks for all your sterling work in the forums and best wishes on the new role.

Mand,
I think it has to be said that your help and intervention in quite a few different cases has really shaped the forum facing role of plusnet, and has set the expections of quite a few.
You never failed to meet those expectations, and even at times where I am sure you felt like throtting/mutilating/battering re-educating people (Staff and customers!) you still came through smiling with a result, making for some really happy customers.
We'll all miss you in the forums, but I know how much it means to you for this role change.
It's been emotional  :'(

Go on Mand be honest, you wanted time free tonight to watch the Tele, or is it you dont want to answer the flack after wards
Honest we wont talk a load of balls if you come back to see us

[Mand]

@Gabe, did you break into our office to take that pic? :D
@pierre_pierre, I'll be around, you don't get rid of me that easily. I suspect tonight will involve beer and football rather than a computer though. :)

That looks like one I took in Networks a couple of years ago. Can't quite recall who it was though :-\
