I worked for OSgrid, Inc. for exactly 100 days. I started the day I landed on the grid. Well, that's not true. I started on day 3. So, I lasted 97 days. I was a greeter, a writer, and a member of the Board of Directors. I designed. I planned. I worked with volunteers. I begged for donations. It was the best job I ever had.
I resigned yesterday for personal reasons. I remain committed to OSgrid, its administrators and to OpenSim. I believe that Hiro Protagonist, who was my boss and mentor, has the right vision for OSgrid. I respect and have deep affection for Dan Banner and Key Gruin, the other members of the team. I am grateful for Nebadon's help, humor and knowledge.
I want to thank my friends, the people who helped me in my work, Walter, Trex, Toy, Jalen, Boxster, Ashton, Allen, Reba, Fearghus, and Dirk. I also than Loru, Cam and Ada for jumping in with incredibly generous donations when we had to redo all the Welcome Station Avatars. I will miss talking over problems with my friend and confidant Allen. I can't remember the name of the man who gave me a little mesh ghost avatar for the OSgrid Welcome station. I remember our conversation, but not his name. That's the trouble with writing this. There have been so many kind people, I received so much help that I can't remember all the names. I will miss working with the people of OSgrid most of all.
I apologize for the things I left unfinished and for the times when I didn't give it complete effort.
I am not leaving OSgrid. I won't be around much for a few weeks. I will be hanging out on other grids and getting used to being unemployed. It's really, really boring. I am trying to follow the advice I give newcomers. I am trying to slow down. I am trying to find a new way to be useful. I am learning to make clothes. I am trying to make a new place for myself.
If you need to reach me, you can reach me on G+ as Amy Storm or on LFgrid, also as Amy Storm and on In Worldz as Amelia Graves.
Here's hoping RL concerns sort themselves out quickly! Don't be a stranger, Amy. :)
