I'm out, y'all!

[mettle]

As some of you may know, a couple weeks ago, I decided to walk away from a 12-year career in publishing to pursue an opportunity in an entirely different industry. Well, my new gig starts tomorrow, I don't believe the nature of the job and the time requirements involved will allow me to continue to fulfill my duties as an INGO Moderator, so I have decided to resign from my post, effective immediately (or whenever the powers that be get around to changing my status and permissions). Being an INGO Moderator has been a lot of work, a heck of a lot of fun, and a real eye-opening experience, and I will miss it dearly.

That said, don't think you're getting rid of me. The new job I'm stepping into is an Assistant Manager position at Bradis Guns, where part of my responsibilities will include overseeing the shop's presence on INGO. I look forward to representing Bradis in a more official capacity here, and doing things to make the most of our INGO Advertiser status and benefits. Most of all, since I'll be in the shop full-time now, I look forward to seeing my INGO friends in person on a regular basis, and meeting many more members for the first time.

It's a brave new world. Wish me luck!

Let's be honest here, you are just feeding your firearms addiction.

Have fun!

You'll be back...they always come back. Like that one guy...what's his name??

techres?



Congrats on the new position Mark. You've been a great asset to INGO during your time as Moderator, and I have no doubt that you'll be just as effective while at Bradis.

I'm pleased for you Mark! You'll do well.

Thanks for your past and ongoing service to INGO.

I think Mark's presence at USPSA matches would greatly benefit Bradis

Congrats shooter ,I think there will be a better chance of running into you at bradis now when I stop in on my way back from B-town

 

[nighthawk80]

Congrats! Hope all turns out well for you.
Lets start a pole to see which Mod will be the first to give Shooter an infraction!

 

[mjrducky]

Congrats Mark ! I guess that means stopping in during the week will make it tougher to avoid you.

(Of course, MODS were welcomed by default...)


Good luck, Mark!

Congrats on the job. You're one of the guys who should be good at it, and enjoy it at the same time. Its just to bad you have to deal with the general public!

Im curious, if you dont mind me asking, but what did you do at the publishing company??

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Oh, and what's this business about a Bradis II?????

 

[theweakerbrother]

Enjoy it man, you're livin' the dream.

What's that old saying? "This job would be great if it wasn't for the ****ing customers". Some days can be like that, but it helps when you have a team of solid employees to support you, and a good rapport with your customer base. And I'm working in an industry I'm interested in and excited about; it ain't the same as running a fast food joint or something (which I have also done, and which sucked).

Im curious, if you dont mind me asking, but what did you do at the publishing company??

I was the Production Manager, so I handled project management for a number of publications (dealt with customers, ensured we met stated deadlines and projects stayed on budget, etc) supervised the production staff (editors/artists/proofreaders), and did production work myself as needed.

Oh, and what's this business about a Bradis II?????

Coming soon...
