RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone

Congrats on the new gig, and best wishes! We'll have to continue to discuss American Idol. :)

Wow...

Congratulations on your new job :)

I'm happy to hear you'll be around, still.

Thanks for all your hard work and dedication... we've all noticed it :)

It is going to take a while to digest this information. It is truly hard to believe. While you'll still be around, since I have started this site you were the go to guy. I hope you didn't warn Andy about me. :)

I wish you luck and good fortune in anything and everything you do.

Julie


Don't worry, Andy wasn't warned.

Thanks for the nice words.

Announced on my birthday too.

Garrett, I know you won't go far from us, but I'm possessive nonetheless. This is bittersweet for me. I know you'll be happy, but I also know you're impossible to replace.

Best wishes at your new job and thank you for your tireless dedication to the site. I hope the staff throws a huge good-bye party for you on behalf of the membership.

Meagan


We did timed this specifically so that it would be on your birthday.

They will be throwing me a shindig. If you're in the Bay Area on Thursday, let me know, and I'll put you on the VIP list.

I can now finally redeem some Income Share. Maybe I can work on a TR hat?

Thanks for the kind comments.

GG -

You'll obviously be missed, but hopefully we'll still see you at the occasional Meet & Greet, yes?

Best wishes on your new endeavors. Keep us posted on every little detail (ok... maybe just the big ones...)

I'm thrilled you are still sticking around the site. I would absolutely miss you if you completely disappeared.

But I am going to miss having you around as the go to guy. I have really loved knowing who to shoot an e-mail to if there was a problem. And your quick, friendly responses, even if it was "We know. Please be patient" were always welcome.

Plus there's the fact that we got to hang out three times in 9 months or so. Those were all a blast.

You've help me weather some tricky stuff here, and I appreciate it. I probably should have told you sooner.

Andy has no clue what he's in for until they hire your replace, does he? :)

Anyway, good luck. Fortunately, not goodbye.

Mark


I think Andy has a pretty good idea.

I definitely enjoyed our hang out time this past year. And I'm sure I can try to make a M&G or two in the future.

Wow, this was pretty shocking. I'm glad you'll still be here with us, though. After all, you've been here for at least forever!

Good luck in your new endeavor!

Kris


Forever, minus about 5 months I think.

Thanks for the nice words.

Goodbye, Garrett. It is a sad occasion, but trying new things and going to new places helps one grow. Best of luck to you. :-)

Garrett,

You will be sorely missed. You sure did help me go from scared, unsure, easily hurt member to someone who has more confidence and is not scared to speak my mind. And there is so much more. You truly inspired me in so very many ways and constantly were there when I needed you. Your calm demeanor when I was "spazzing" really made me realize I needed to chill. (I'm working on it. lol.)

I will miss you being here to lean on but I know you will still be here as a friend.

Best of luck in the future. You'll do great!

Hugs,
Patty


I think you did pretty good for yourself yes?

I'm sure we'll be chatting about Randy Orton (though not naked) for years to come.

Wow! Garrett, you and Andy have been very responsive (often beyond the call of duty) to member needs. I'm glad you're sticking around and I know Andy will do very well with his additional duties until your replacement arrives.

Good luck to you and Andy both.

Don :)


Thanks Don. Keep keeping us on our toes.

I just wanted to add my best wishes and say how much I have appreciated your help this past year and encouragement to write more with our little challanges...also your quick responses to the problem I had when I lost my check and making sure everything was taken care of...

I really hope your replacement will be half as helpful as you have been.

best of luck in your new endeaver, another of life's challanges and surprises,

Barbara


Uh, I think I still have 8 more to go this month.

With Andy and Almar getting my replacement's butt in gear, I imagine that person will be very helpful.

Oh my.

Someone sent me an email about this today, and at first I assumed it was a poorly timed April Fool's joke. I'm just stunned, and sad to see you go. I'm also really happy that you're off to something even more exciting for you, and wish you the very best of luck. And as long as you keep blogging AI, I promise not to pout!
;)


I'll continue blogging about AI until people stop reading, so no pouting.

Thanks.

GG

In just the short time I've gotten know Garrett, I already know I will also miss him. Which is why I'll make every excuse I can to leave the office and go have lunch with him. =)

Good luck, Garrett! I wish you the best.

-Almar


Likewise.

You guys need to understand something about Almar. I've worked with great people like Christal and Andy for many years, but I clicked with Almar much sooner than I've clicked with anyone I've ever worked with.

I do hope to keep up some sort of lunch schedule. We won't be far.

That hat will look fashionable on you! I'm wishing you all the best and am glad you'll still be a valued contributor to the Epinions site.

I wish I could get a green mod hat with some stars or something on it.

Thanks!
