OT: Open Letter to the TeAm

As some have noticed, and thanks to engineer for contacting me, I have been absent from the forums for some time, maybe a month or more. I left IJump waiting on a router that is owed to him and the ENTERPRISE (BEOWULF) project hanging. I will make good on my commitments as soon as I can. My Business and Personal life have gone through some rather uncomfortable changes and it has effected me in a very negative way. It is not an excuse for my unresponsible actions and I ask the Anandtech community, DC forum and the TeAm to accept an apology for those actions.

Shux (Sean),

You owe YOURSELF everything...and us nothing. You need to take CARE of yourself first. If there is anything WE (I) can do (talk, pray, etc), please just ask. The TeAm is here for you....and always will be!

Again, you don't need to apoligize......you're a great TeAmmate...and I, for one, really hope that you can start up the better side of life. Take care...

Robert aka Engineer!

What Geoff & Engineer said! 😀

Family and Job come first, you do what you need to do. We'll be around.

If we can help, let us know. Thoughts and prayers your way!

 
Yo dude no probs eh... i let the team down as well when i sold 4 very powerful computers of mys now i suck at wus... just 6 a day not to say here of late i been doing some very bad ones it's gotten too around 4 a day either that or something very wrong with my computer! anyway sence ya saying that i need to go ahead and say some things to the team!


I know i might not put out much hell im prob just a lill spec that some of you just run on all the time but in 1.5 weeks i will be gone not form the the team but from doing seti... after running in some very bad probs with my work im force to not only move but to move where there is not a stable net right now.. that means my computer will do seti but i prob want be sending any up for a very long time!

Dang it all. I'm a mind to whack you an Shux upside the head with my cane. 😉

YOU ARE NOT LETTING THE TEAM DOWN BY HAVING TO DEAL WITH LIFE. Period.

And the teammate who produces 1 WU is just as valuable to the team as a mate doing 100, or 1000.

WE ALL DO WHAT WE CAN, WITH WHAT WE CAN.

Get it? Everyone is in a different place, has different needs, has different life experiences.

I would love to be able to go out and buy some dual rigs, crack rack nodes, etc., but I can't right now. So I do what I can.

Those that are in the situation to do so, that's great. We are a team, all pitching in together. 😀

No one's WUs are less important than anothers. WHY?

Because we care about the TEAMMATES more than we care about the WUs. 🙂

Heck, you don't even have to be producing WUs. 🙂

Which also means, if you need help, just ask. If you don't want to make it public, just PM or email one of the TA team you feel you can trust.

If you don't believe me, just ask Dave McOwen. I think he knows we will pitch in to help. 😀

Thoughts and prayers to both of you, and don't worry about the WUs. OK? 😀

[/rant mode & lecture mode off] 😉😉

Take care, both of you, and pop in when you can! 😀😀😀
 
I would rather be a great TeAm than the #1 producing Team

Take care of what you need to and we will still be here when things are better. If you need any type of help, just ask 🙂
 
I'm kind of caught a little here.. on the one hand I agree with the others above me; on the other hand, if the un-finished transacation with IJump is anything like what occasionally happens in the FS/T forum, then you need at least to be in good communication with IJump so that he knows where "things" are at - you owe him that. 😉

Assuming that communication and understanding are in place between the two of you, then indeed you need to resolve whatever other personal concerns affect you. Much as we want the "Enterprise" project to go on, others of us can continue on in your abscence and we'll welcome you back if and when you can return. 🙂

 
I PMed him about the router...you guys don't need to worry about that, I'm not worried about it. He will get it to me when he has a chance........


I was more worried about where a very active member of the TeAm had gone than I was about the router........



Nice to see you back around Shux, tkae care of the home life first... 🙂
 
/me wags his tail and superdupertackleticklesupersloberlicks the face of Shuxclams

Personal life sure causes problem at times.

I couldn't have said it better or in a more pleasant way Crazee 🙂

Shuxclams your TeAmmates are here for your 🙂
 
I think i speak for everyone when i say we think no less of you now Shuxclams..

Get over your problems as I and everyone else in the TeAm knows you will, and come to the other side the same guy we knew before! 🙂

Best wishes!
 
Family always comes first.

We are not going anywhere any time soon, we were just a little worried about ya.

You need anything, just ask me. I mean it. even if you don't think I can help, I can probably help.

We have all been there (or will be there) sooner or later. We await your joyus return!
 
Bottom line is this, not enough business to keep business or personal finances floating, the divorce and the added personal crisis sh*t put me in a depression. Its all sucky stuff but I have been and am getting through it. Its taken this long to even have enough "balls" to come and post. Don't know if anyone has been through depression before but if you have you know what I mean. It happens, this is second time for me and I recognized it sooner, so I have that to build on. Thanks for the kind words and support. 🙂

Shux,


What can I say that hasn't already been said?


Your actions have not been unresponsible, in fact far from it. You have been having real life problems and you have dealt with them rather than running from them. That is very responsible. Even though you have left IJump waiting, so long as you have had contact with him and it's OK with him (which it is) then you should in no way feel bad for taking the right course of action.


We all appreciate you coming here and letting us know in a little detail what's going on, we didn't even need that. That speaks volumes of how well you are doing, telling other people of problems is always the hardest thing to do.


I won't pretend that i know what you are going through, because I have never been in these situations. I am just happy to know that if these situations do arise, that I will have such a great bunch of people here to fall back on when I need them, or when I feel like a little unneeded neffing 🙂


Take care, and do what you have to. We will always be here for you, whenever you need us.

I went through a divorce, then a break up with TWO fiancees, the most recent one in the past week. I'm 41 now, and still waiting on the ole' life to start, ya know? I know and understand what you are going through Shux. Be strong....it WILL get better. I even think that for myself 😉

Sorry to hear you're in a rut, Shux. 🙁 Just want to say I think you're a pretty standup guy for coming in here to explain the situation. Like many others I've been through a divorce and they aren't fun. Hope things work out for ya.
 
Certainly know the depressed feeling Sean, everyone here literally were the huge part of saving my life from not just the State but being depressed too. Hope the comraderie here helps and we'll all be pulling for you. Sorry about your partner leaving, not much to say there except was she truly a partner then? The whole Country is in a downer now and all looking for it to pick back up.
