It’s been several months since I’ve posted (busy, busy, busy) but I had some down time this morning and decided to drop in and say hello. I’ve got a new job, and while the position and money are great, I don’t have any privacy so I don’t do any personal web surfing at the office. We’re moving office at some point in the not-too-distant future, hopefully I can secure an office for myself and get back to the important business of posting to the SDMB all day. 🙂 ---

Since you’ve been gone there has been a revolution of the management of this place. Some dopers are now restricted to posting only in the Elections forum, Wednesday is “bring Pie Day”, and everyone is expected to pitch in. I’ve been assigned \*\*Dress Code Captain \*\*duties for this month. Please log out, put on some appropriate shoes and feel free to log in again. Bubbadog SDMB-DCC ---

Had no idea you’d be back so we rented out your room. You’ll have to sleep on the sofa. ---

I was fairly certain you had been vaporized. Now… I don’t know what to feel. ---

I’ve got a new job, and while the position and money are great, I don’t have any privacy so I don’t do any personal web surfing at the office. So you’re the guy who’s developing vaporware. Glad to see you haven’t gotten too close to be affected. ---

We are currently in a board war with those jerks at Eastasia. You might think we were at war with the Eurasia board, but that is double plus ungood. We have always been at war with the Eastasia board. ---

And be careful because TPTB have decided that violations of Board Rules are now punishable by vaporization, which would be a cruel irony, huh? ---
