Of course. Now, there will be a marsupial on KSR, although I don't think they'll put me on the Game Spotting Guide.

What poachers? They are usually kept out of the Harambe Wildlife Reserve.

They are doing a much better job than in the past making the poacher storyline fit into the whole theming.

Good for you. That is a position that you will excel at.

Now for the selfish part. Don't go! (I'm kidding) ;)

I'm going to miss you in buses. It is always great to sit and commiserate with you. Buses has lost a great cast member. Due to my schedule, I won't be seeing you much if at all.

We'll just have to keep in touch here. Keep giving my new spiel stuff to use.

Hey, Joana, haven't seen you in ages!

Cranbiz, I know. I'm not looking forward to that aspect of leaving. :( There are still good people in buses, a handful of you, and it's been so much fun stealing material for you and having you steal other stuff I do. I loved hearing about that group that had both of us in the same day. A rare day of having two Cast Member bus drivers within 24 hours.

It was good to talk to a certain, really good and trustworthy manager after I put in for the transfer, I told him in no uncertain terms my reasons, and even that I had some resentment toward the computer that it was taking the best part of the job. The part that made that conversation neat was that he agreed. Cranbiz, you won't be surprised that the managers in question has the first name Richard. This transfer process, short though it may have thankfully have been, has been somewhat eye-opening as to just how great a couple of our managers are. I've got my list, so if anyone here ever needs to talk to a bus manager, please PM me with your issue and I'll tell you exactly who to go to.

Today I went to KSR (yeah, I know... I'm completely nuts to do that today), met some of the people I'll be working with, one of the trainers (that happened because I was on the phone with a friend over there, he was telling me the good trainers and as he said her name I was passing her), a few leads and GSM's, and they all seem very accessible. I met Victor and for a second thought I was looking at one of the best managers we had in buses (who was very short-lived there for certain issues in buses that he couldn't stand), finding out I wasn't the first.

Yeah, I know I'm not seeing the less nice sides, and I know there has to be that side, because it's a job with other human beings. Being a human being myself, I am acutely aware of this fact. While I don't expect it to be perfect, I do expect great guest interaction.
