    One Full Year at New Job

    Blatantly self congratulatory thread for myself. One full year with an indie after the previous 7 in a huge (yet unnamed corporation). I just wanted to thank everybody for making my day to day more enjoyable and for all the things I have learned in my 8 years here. Trust me when I say that going 8 years with out a ban from a forum is a timespan that most of the people I know think I am completely lying about.

    Thank you most of all Steve and all the supporters who keep this site running.

    I'll have more to say in 3 more beers I'm sure.

    Why do you say that ?? Just because Winterpeg is the dullest city in Canada, doesn't mean you should get rid of it.
