Go On Then, Blog Off
You know, the standard thing to say when you leave a company is that it’s the people who make the place. I think that’s true, so when the person leaving is someone who made a company so much a part of what it is, then you’re left with less of a place.
This week sees friend, colleague, fellow blogger and regular This Is This contributor Wendy leaving our gainful employer this week and I’m gutted.
She’s moving, too. Sadly I couldn’t get the leaving card to everyone’s desk, so I’ll send her blog round instead. It’s A Life
There you go. It’s going that way (points to Ed)
To say this is an upheaval is a huge understatement. To be honest, I can’t remember the last time something upped my heaval this much.
Anyway, wish her well on her site. It’s on Vox, and if you have to register then please do it. She’s a talented writer, funny as hell, and I know that your patronage to her site will not only be worth it, but it’ll mean a lot to her, even thought she’ll hate me for saying it.
And if you think it’s just me, watch the comments on her site over the next week. You think I’m dramatic?
Also, I’m talking about her like she’s not reading this, because I know she is, or at least will.
Grrrr.

“even thought she’ll hate me for saying it.”
Not.
Possible.
It’s weird, this leaving malarky. I’m not a big fan of it, to be honest.
Thanks for this.

Very nice Cliff, the internet can be a good thing and provided she has access in the wilds I’m sure that yuo will both have daily sontact.

I love WEndy;)
Wendy, where are you moving to?
August 22nd, 2007 at 2:10 pm
It sucks, Cliff, I’m with you on that…
The friendship will have to become a lot more virtual now, that’s all I can say… boohoo

Good luck, Wendy! I’ll be over on your site checking it out.

Loves me some Wendy. I could deep fry her and dip her in gravy, just like chicken fried steak Texas style.
Ed, you were hoping I would say and eat her werent you?

To be honest Dawn, compared to the whole deep frying thing, I’m kinda hoping you just stick with “eat her”, too.
Ed, I’m moving to the land of deep fried Mars bars (I can’t remember if they’re called that in the states - like Snickers without the nuts, sorta), Aberdeen in Scotland.
