...nor me neither.

I was gone momentarily from the sacred precincts of the gzg list, but it
was temporary - sparked rather suddenly by my gravitation from the
status of "employed highly paid professional" to "yet another roadkill on the
information highway". This of course had an accompanying effect on my email
address to the point where I couldn't even unsub.... (bing, bang, out you
go....). So, I think that I've managed to unsub the old account and sub my new
home account (mental note: too many things were tied to the work account
anyway). So, now that I'm at leisure (at least for a bit of time...), I'll
actually get a chance to catchup and send things to people that I promised
some stuff to (Chris and Rob, email me here offlist if you would.... help me
rebuild my address book).

Anyway, I'm going to enjoy my sudden holiday, get some of my stuff painted,
and go job hunting when the wrist cramps set in and I can't paint anymore. <As
you might have guessed, although this isn't a development I'm entirely pleased
about as I did love my job, I'm not too
stressed out either - things will work out!>.

I'm back. You can't get rid of me. Even large scale economic forces only slow
me down for a little while....

Tom, Very glad to hear this; and glad that you like your work; sorry it is
gone; but like a bus, there will be another one.

Keep painting!!!

So many figures, so little time.

Bye for now,

Remember, when you finally run out of unpainted lead, you die.....  ;-)

Sorry to hear about the job, Tom, but enjoy the leisure while it
lasts...

Not to worry, his friends will always be able to supply him with more in need
of paint. At great personal risk, (like my basement could ever be emptied),
we'll submit our unpainted figs to keep him fully occupied.

Take care, Tom!

It doesn't matter. The more you paint the more you look at miniatures online.
The more you look at miniatures the more you buy. Therefore the more you paint
the further behind you get on your painting.:)
