Your patience is appreciated

Hi Level 3 students, guest instructors and instructors,

Due to some recent developments at work and home, I haven't been able to review many recent assignments.

Thank you for keeping up the great work and reviewing each other's threads. Your feedback is extremely valuable.

In the short term, please contact me when you are ready for new projects and I can assign them.

I usually drop by once a day, just to check pm's and to see if there are any new assignment requests. That's about all the time I have to give these days.

I am actively seeking a replacement for me at this level and would like to move into a role where I can visit and post comments, yet not be the main instructor here.

Thank you for your patience and understanding,

Ruby

PS

No, I'm not leaving the forums. I just have some "real life" items that are taking precedence over my every shrinking volunteer time.

[tessa]

Well, we do what we must. I just really hope that "real life" is just busy, not difficult.

~huggles~

Thanks, Tessa

It's just very busy.
And in my goal to turn busy into productive,
sacrifices are being made.

[ThisYouWillDo]

I'm sorry you can't do this anymore, Ruby, but I understand why you feel you need to withdraw: it's 2:12 am here and I've just finished my own work!

Good luck and so long.

Hi TYWD,

I'm not gone yet.

Thanks for your well wishes,

Ruby

[ThisYouWillDo]

in that case, read my assignment!

[Ruby]

LOL Yes, sir!

Oh, did you mean, right now? Hmmmm....
One down, one to go.

And I bet you need a new assignment, don't you?

[ThisYouWillDo]

I was gonna say, "In your own time Ruby" but I see you've already started.

As most may know Ms Ruby is going to be cutting back in the level 3 program.
Temporarily at least this mean that Mad and Lews will try to bridge some of the gap.

Change is rarely greeted joyfully and the timing is not ideal for reasons I will explain.

Alas despite Al Gores best efforts winter has descend upon New England which brings about an annual tradition.

Mad Lews will gather his/their sig. ot. and flee to southern climes for weeks on end. I will pack my trusty HP laptop, which will accompany me and whenever I find WiFi access I'll be there looking over your shoulders.

We (Mad & Lews) will not be alone!

I plan to "Cry havoc and let slip the Dean of Words". In addition Nikita will monitor with a sharp eye and a switch so please try to behave. This is supposed to be a vacation for me!

Ruby will contribute as time allows, so try not to sniffle too much. You are not being abandoned, but alas you will be going through yet another time of transition.

Best of luck with that.

Yours
Mad Lews

Yes, the Dean of Words has slipped. I hit my head and I am damned pissed off. So, you guys are fucked.

Anyhow, having discovered that Ruby will be absent, I will do my damnedest to provide more attention to the assignment and piss you all off with my harsh critiques. If anyone doesn't get the attention they feel they deserve you can e-mail me or PM me. I check in often but don't always have time to rip you guys. But, I am more apt to rip if I am hollered at.

Oh no! Not bloody Prep monitors again!

[Mad Lews]

Oh no! Not bloody Prep monitors again!

Well you realize TYWD
If you work dilegently you too can be a bloody pep monitor and feel harassed while you harass others. Symmetry is important you know.

Yours

Never made Prep monitor at school. They said I wasn't responsible enough. I think the incident with Cheryl Bailey - when I had her tied up in the stationery cupboard - had something to do with it.

[Razor7826]

What the hell is a Prep Monitor?

[Nikita]

Razor, I hear tell that those who don't know what a prep monitor is, will be appointed.

[ThisYouWillDo]

Lmao

What's winter?

Ha. I jest. We actually had snow here last week! It looked all pretty on the ground...for those few cold hours at least.

So, you guys are fucked.

Can I be considered as one of the "guys" you mentioned there? Might be a good for a giggle.

That made me think of Bon Jovi. ~sighs happily~ Thanks for that.

Razor, I hear tell that those who don't know what a prep monitor is, will be appointed.

I'm not saying I don't know what that is then.

Thanks to everyone helping out!

Prep: school work done outside lessons.
Monitor: a school pupil with disciplinary or other special duties.

Disciplinary duties?? Well my, my. I might have to know what that is after all.



Yeah...I just might.
