Going on Hiatus
Gidday Gents,
I'm going to be stepping down as a mentor for a bit - I've got a lot of other life stuff coming up in the next few months, so I'll be taking a break. I've just gotten the last couple of articles for the reading lounge which I've been meaning to sort out done, so it's a good time. No reflection on the place or the fine buch running and mentoring it (they do a bloody hard job out of the goodness of their hearts, and can't be praised for it highly enough), I've just run out of hours in the day and something's gotta give. I'll be stopping scanning new posts - I'll reply to any posts I've made or PMs but I won't be round so much.
The end of the busy period looks to be xmas or even later, so I hope I'll be back in the New Year (with a shiny new still to boot). I hope you all build up a good stash of copper porn for me while I'm away.
Cheers, good health, slainte, and keep on stilling!

Re: Going on Hiatus
Not to worry, nothing too serious, Just got a lot of work to do, and I'm at the point where I either need to stop doing my hobbies or stop talking about them
(and if I stop doing them I'll run out of gin...)

Re: Going on Hiatus
kiwistiller, your help here has been greatly appreciated by many... Your contributions to the novice section will be beneficial for years to come... And while it is understandable that you need to focus on more important aspects of your personal life at the moment, I hope that you will one day find the time to return to the Mentors group once again...
Good luck in your endeavors, wherever they may lead you...

Re: Going on Hiatus
Sounds like a good plan. Sometimes you just have to stop and let the dust settle and take care of the other things in your life.
I hope that you get whatever you need out of your time off and look forward to your return.
PS. Blanik, you can pick on me if it makes you fell better.

I get where you are coming from. Doing, or talking about doing... One of them choices life throws at you frequently.kiwistiller wrote:Not to worry, nothing too serious, Just got a lot of work to do, and I'm at the point where I either need to stop doing my hobbies or stop talking about them![]()

Have fun. See you next year.
