(Vanity) I'm Taking a Breather from Free Republic

Hi everyone. I'm thinking about taking a breather from Free Republic for a little while. Not long, I'm sure. But, I just don't want it to interfere with my job, and I already had that happen once. I'm reading and posting much too much. I think a short sabbatical should help me break this bad habit.

See you all soon .... NOT DURING WORK HOURS!

This is hugh !!!

[Lazamataz]

I should now makeup some ultra difficult way to stop me from editing the proxy config file.

Dude (or Lass), you need to design non-technical obstacles.

Like, control yourself -- as I plan to do. I know I can because I have before in other realms.

[Neets]

Wise decision my dear FRiend!!!!

You can always E/Freepmail me if you want.

Yeah, I'm into that parallel universe thingie, too. Especially the one where I became the photographer for Playboy at age 18.

Opus Lite!

1/3 as much vanity as the regular Opus, but just as satisfying! <|:)~

We will be checking DU to make sure you haven't gone over to the darkside.

Good luck friend. I didn't get to know you, but from the response I can see you were well liked.

note to self: try moving up one position in the freep org.

[harpseal]

I will respond at an appropriate time when the breather is finished.

The opus critics are going to have their way with you for this, and I'm not going to be able to stop them.

It's not an opus. An opus requires:

• A proclamation you are leaving forever.

• An explanation of the many wonderful ways you have benefitted FR -- and extra credit if most of them are wrong or exaggerated.

• A pained exploration of why FR is so messed up now. Lots of extra points for each mention of the phrase "The Old Days" or "How It Used To Be" or "All The Good Freepers Are Gone".

• A vow never to return.

Wow, I guess we all really needed to know this...

[lelio]

Heh! "Please state your FR handle, your current tag line, and all the ping lists you're on"

[Sabertooth]

Shut the hell up already.

[SoDak]

I'm like a chocoholic, except for booze.

[TheSpottedOwl]

We'll miss you. This site is rather addicting, though :)

[AAABEST]

OK then, this is either something like your "I'm staying" thread, or your boss caught you FReeping.

YOUR TAG LINE:

*** (please let my post be on an even number... small even/odd phobia here)
***

I'm curious to know what you think will happen if your post shows up on an (GASP) uneven number.

[Lazamataz]

Shut the hell up already.

ALMOST. Almost got me to stay. Appealing to my iconoclastic side is a good way -- but, naw...... the job is more important.

Why? Are you logged in?

Neither. I want to develop better habits BEFORE the boss catches me.
