Today is my last day of being a working stiff. As of tomorrow, I am a bankrolled bitch, a trust fund baby, a full time college student. I am scared, excited, apprehensive, and sad to leave my coworkers, most of whom I enjoy being around. I am also sad to leave this T1 connection and the small amount of supervision that has gotten me my 2400+ posts in little over 7 months. While I am not foolish enough to think that I can walk away from this virtual crack pipe, you can bet your sweet bippy that when I’m not sitting in front of a computer with internet access for 8 hours a day, I’m going to be posting less. As always, email me if you want to say something to be directly, hope to see some of yall on AOL or ICQ. ---

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Oh Swiddles! We’ll miss you. Well, I’ll miss you. Hey, maybe you can convince the dean to put computers in every classroom at every desk. You know, to keep up with technology and all, then you can keep posting throughout class. 😃 Good luck with everything though. See ya on AOL and ICQ mon ami. ---

That’s too bad. I enjoy your posts. Try and post as often as you can. “Virtual crack pipe,” yeah that pretty much sums it up right there. You’ll be walking around doing different things and all of the sudden you’ll here your computer, and you’ll say, “What’s that? You want me to post on you? But I can’t, I’m busy…alright, alright. I surrender.” ---

Do you know how much I’ll miss you? Okay, enough of that… Seriously, I’ll miss you so much Swiddles. You’re one of the best on the board. Do have a great time with your academic endeavors. Don’t be too nervous–you’ll not only do well, but you’ll have a blast. I speak from experience. Take care of you. struuter ---

Withdrawal can be painful. Have fun in college.
