I start my job on Monday and I am going to need time to adjust. I will no longer have the ability to monitor the site as often as I do. My response to threads might decrease as well. I will, however, be available to chat via PM and VM. If it takes me a day or two to respond don't take it personally. I am going to try and make it a habit to let people know I received their PM's.
That being said, TeenHelp is my safe place. It's the place I go to help me cope with stress. I love being able to give back and be there for others. So, I don't know how absent I'll be. I do know that from about 7am-5:30 or 6pm (PST) I won't be on. I might check things on my phone but I will not do any moderation and I will not respond to threads that require longer responses. This is so that I can provide people with the absolute best responses and responding on my phone only works if the questions only require a quick response.
I won't be leaving but things will be changing. I am excited and I am anxious. Positive thoughts will be great. I also thought I owed an explanation to all you wonderful people.
I might not be as active for a while but I am always here and willing to listen.
I wish you the best with you're job. I will miss talking with you and seeing you around. Lots of Hugs.

Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your breathing.
It’s the rhythm of your life. It’s the expression in time and movement,
in happiness, joy, sadness and envy.
-Jacques d’Ambroise
Thank you all so much! I am excited but starting to get kind of nervous. I worry I won't do that well or I'll have an anxiety attack. I also have some calls I am going to have to make at lunch which won't be fun. I'll get through it though and this really is a great new chapter of my life.
There was a slight hiccup but nothing that couldn't be resolved. I am mildly excited to go back tomorrow. I hope that I end up continuing to enjoy the job. It's nice to have SOMETHING to do during the day.
I am sad that I only got one chapter of my book read but ... I will try for more tomorrow. Probably would have gotten more read today but had to go get something for lunch and it took longer that expected.
