RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: millinocket Best of luck at the new job, GG. They're incredibly lucky to have you. I'll miss you, and as a community we owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
Good luck and I'm glad we'll still get to see you around!

Don't worry, your category will still get all my WWE and UFC reviews, which I know is just what that movie category survives on.
I'll miss you too!

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: kamel622 Best of luck Garrett...you'll be sorely missed as our 'go to' guy.
I am glad to read that you'll be around on the boards and of course reading and writing too.
I'm thinking you must be the last of those who were there at the very beginning...am I correct in that assumption? Anyway...best of luck and make it a great new job.....kath
Andy was with us very early on with Epinions. After him, that's it.
Thanks,
GG

RE: Good Luck
Quote: northeastgal Wow! I didn't expect this announcement. This is 5 pages I just read. Goes to show you, you WILL be missed with our problems that you helped us all with. I'll always remember your positive outlook and encouragement to all.
Best wishes in your new job.
You mean that when you logged on this morning, you didn't think I'd tell you I'm leaving?
Thank you for the kind words. Let's stay positive! The sky doesn't fall. And if it does, we'll just hold it up.

I'm glad to hear you plan on sticking around as a member.
I'll stick around as long as you keep Chuck in check. Make sure that guy doesn't destroy anything.

Quote: Kittyokc Best of luck in your new venture I'm glad you're sticking around Epinions though.
And now you can actually earn IS and enter the contests now that you won't be an employee. :)

Oh, the IS will definitely be cashed out.
Thanks,

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: sleeper54 Ditto the thoughts of everyone else.
They were passing around a card but all the good spots were filled in already. I would have had to add something dorky on the back, squeezed in between the trademark (I think it was a Hallmark...) and the bottom of the card.
So I will just ditto what everyone else has said... you cant say goodbye**.
...tom...
**Check your volume, all...

Well, I can say goodbye, I just can't say that I'm gone because Tom, you don't know what you got 'til it's gone.

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Quote: pogomom Dearest GG:
If anyone has been the heart and soul of Epinions it's you. We can only hope your new employers know how fortunate they are to have such a talented, caring and honest individual taking over the Community Manager role.
Andy is great. Almar is a gem. While they may have some idea of what you seem to effortlessly accomplish any given day, I wonder if one person can ever fill your shoes here on the mother site.
You've been my rock for so long and a very dear friend. Now that I'm over the shock of the announcement, I'm so happy for you. I won't miss you because I refuse to allow us to lose touch.
With love from your future stalker,
HG
Aw Helen, that was very nice. I won't take credit for being the heart and soul of anything though. Collectively, we make up the heart and soul. But I do appreciate everything you said.
You know my e-mail address. Think of it as an open invitation and I'll do the same with all twelve of your e-mail addresses.
Thanks,
GG |

RE: I only got one question Garrett...
Oh my....what a shock! I am very happy for you in you new job, Garrett. I feel like you are an old friend at this point since we've met at four M&G's! Thanks for always being such a big help to me (and everyone).
Gotta add that I am very glad you will still be writing at Epinions.
All the best to you!

A Replacement...But Never An Equal
Hey GG,
I'm all choked up and feeling shocked, sad but ultimately happy for you in your decision to try something a bit different and adventurous but along the Community lines you helped foster so mightily here at Epinions.com.
You were 50% of the reason we drove 800 miles round trip with gas more than $3.60 a gallon last month, just 2 days after I started double antibiotics for a particularly bad dental situation.
You and Andy are the last of the originals/near originals from Brisbane, and I will both look forward to your new endeavors and continued success at whatever you make your Life's work, as well as continuing American Idol Saga & Dish a la your civilian self.
Oh, and will surely try for an open mind for the Newbie. Guess I'll have to be 'nice' to dearest Andyman in the interim. Sigh.
Your hugest fan,
Casey la reynosa |

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Garrett, I am so glad that you are going to remain a member of the community even though you will be working somewhere else.
I really liked your management style, you were so easy to approach and you made each of us feel equally important. I was always so impressed that no matter how upset the members may have become over site changes, you never took it personally and always remained calm and willing to answer our questions and help us in any way you could.
Thank you, Garrett. |

Hey Garrett
It sure has been fun working with you man. Glad we had a chance to chat over a beer at the Atlanta Meet and Greet, too. Hate to see you move out of your official capacity, but I am glad to see you'll still be posing reviews and sticking around Epinions.
Bets wishes in your new endeavors!

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Garrett,
We haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but you don't remember a man for agreeing with you. You remember him for standing by his principles. You were good.
I sincerely wish you all the best in your future endeavours. And it's good to know roheblius will stay back :o).

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
Congratulations big guy and best wishes for great success in your new adventure. I've had to say goodbye to some very special epinions folks over the years - Alexis, Nirav, Ron, and several others, but you amigo I will miss most of all.
I'm glad you'll be staying around the community - epinions just wouldn't be the same without YOU. I really appreciate everything you done over the many years we've known each other - for me, for my category, for epinions, and for the community.
Howard

RE: Goodbye, But Not Gone
I'm a little late to the going-away party, but thanks for everything you've done for Epinions, Garrett. You have been the public face of Epinions for most of the time I've been here, and that has been a kind and welcoming face. Good luck with your future endeavors and I look forward to modding with you.

I am sure this was a terribly hard decision! I wanted to send you the best wishes for a wonderful adventure!
You certainly will be missed (in your capacity as it was), but I am glad to hear you will still be present as a member!
