Last Day at work after 21 years

Shaun Sullivan · 04-05-2011, 01:42 PM

Today is my last day at my "real" job after 21 years. Feeling a little sad, but excited.

The good news is I will be doing a startup, which is going to be very cool.

Electric Plum

I'll update you when we come out of stealth mode

Shaun Sullivan · 04-05-2011, 01:43 PM

Whoops, and YES that does mean more time for PureSim too.

JediKooter · 04-05-2011, 01:52 PM

Congrats Shaun!

markprior22 · 04-05-2011, 01:55 PM

Congrats Shaun.

Ben E Lou · 04-05-2011, 02:08 PM

Wow. Congrats, and you'll be missed. But I won't miss you calling me "SkyDog" on the microphone at company events.

BYU 14 · 04-05-2011, 02:08 PM

Congrats and best of luck, you definitely deserve it!

You guys work together?

Ben E Lou · 04-05-2011, 02:10 PM

If you call Shaun being a big dog and me being a peon in an entirely different division "working together," then sure, we work (well, worked) together for nearly five years.

Didn't we promote you to "level 2 peon" recently?

Ben E Lou · 04-05-2011, 02:17 PM

THAT'S "MOST HIGHLY EXALTED CYCLOPS" TO YOU, BUSTER!!!

DanGarion · 04-05-2011, 02:17 PM

First thing I would do is fix your subscribe box, you aren't going to get a bunch of people subscribing if clicking in the text area doesn't actually activate the ability to type in the text area. That is annoying.

Did I really do that?

Sorry

When I give speeches I am shot out of a cannon so I apologize.

DaddyTorgo · 04-05-2011, 02:36 PM

Congrats on your "freedom day" Shaun!

Swaggs · 04-05-2011, 02:56 PM

Congrats!

Hope it gives you more time with your family and to do the things you enjoy.

Worked for me.

You did it twice. It didn't bother me, though. Both were along the lines of "We're about to get started. Break's over. Everyone find a seat. SkyDog, this means YOU!" I'm 99.9% sure that no one in the room but the two of us had the first clue what you were talking about. No apologies necessary.

Ksyrup · 04-05-2011, 03:12 PM

Would have been better if he called you HNIC.

Didn't exactly work for me in Chrome either. That is, until I clicked the "Email Address" text.

But I have to agree, most internet users are pretty naive and will move on if they can't click directly in the text area.

dolfin · 04-05-2011, 03:56 PM

Almost forgot...

Congrats Shaun!!

fantom1979 · 04-05-2011, 04:44 PM

Congrats Shaun

The email text box is working a bit screwy for me as well. If I click on "Email Address" text then I can type in the box, but clicking on the box itself seems to deactivate the box.

tarcone · 04-05-2011, 04:47 PM

Congrats Shaun!!!!!!!!!!!

That's pretty awesome.

And congrats Shaun!! Just the next page of life.

That was annoying. It seems fine now though, thanks.

You should start hiring some staff to take care of this stuff...
