Just got back to the site after a small absence of my own, and I can only say, I MISSED YOU. WELCOME BACK! *throws confetti in the air and does a happy dance* :D

Welcome back! You're the only one I know that takes the time to find something worth commenting on in every story. I'm not that kind! LOL!

I worked for that same company here in CA about 12 yrs ago before it moved its call centers to other countries. Small world.

and he's back....glad to hear you're still alive, man. I admire someone who has the guts to quit an unhealthy job situation, (workmans comp not withstanding)....welcome back...

Now there's a moment made of sunlight: the return of BlueEyedBrigadier. :)

"I’m still here!" You almost make it sound like a small thing, but it's big. :) Kinda reminds me of what Abraham said when called upon by God: "Hineni" -- "I am here." But not in the commonly known sense of humility, for there's a deeper meaning to it, like: "Here I will make my stand." As we would say: "Here I'm holding." :) Seems to me like the 'Verse never tires of giving us the short end of stick. But you took that stick! And... well... ya took it! You're still holding, still here! I say that's no small matter.

I'm glad you came back. You're a good man; but also, in doing so, you reaffirm, once again, that the Firefly ties can never be broken! And so your return brings a little hope to them as need it brought (which, at this point, most like, includes us all).

Good to see you back, BEB, champion of the BSR feedback machine. :) Glad you made it through the harrowing-ness. Black ice scares the hell out of me!

BEB, however you come back, it's good to see you again. So pull up a chair, open a beer, take your time ... and just know we're glad to see you.

Wahay! Welcome back Sir! It doesn't matter if it is a full or semi-full return, it is still triumphant nonetheless! Truly. Your lack of presence here has been noticeable.

I'm glad that you got away from that used car dealership place. Nightmare job! *Shudders.*

It's cool to have you back onboard, and that your real life sh** is back in order.

*Salutes.*

Biiig huuug! We missed you.

Never run away from home again, shame on you!

Who needs work and sleep?!

(excuse me while I laugh until my head asplode)

Time for some responses to my beloved fans;)

NVGHOSTRIDER: Yeah, figured the odd person was wondering where I had went. But no, didn't disappear down a black hole...less you classify working jobs that suck up all your time and energy so spending one's leisure time reading fanfic is closer to fantasy than reality "falling down a black hole" ;D

SISTER: I'm happy to have escaped near-death my own self. I am definitely starting to have a larger sympathy with our beloved Captain Tightpants and his predilection toward tight spots and tough calls. And it's good to know my words serve a happy purpose for some, since I have found not everyone agrees with your assessment of my thoughts.

EMPIREX: I'm glad there are people out there who can understand the fun I've had changing jobs and acclimatizing to a new environment. I can happily say that I have been give a much more extensive training base for my new job...but it's still mucho stressful right now, since I've gone from a job where not being able to sell someone a car is a shame and a threat to my employment status only to a job where my failure to develop a solutions means a customer of Verizon has to be without important services for longer than they should...and spend more time on the phone talking to techs than needed.

NCBROWNCOAT: Perceptive, huh? That's definitely something that helps the old self-esteem on rough days of multi-hour calls where every insult in the book is aimed at me;)

STEAMER: Not sure if I have gotten right, Steamer. Just managed to find employment where the stress comes from different sources ;)

Also, I sadly can't advertise a triumphant return to being Browncoat Cheerleader Extraordinaire. My current work hours mean I go to bed real early like and get up before the sun has awoken, meaning I come home drained from handling tech support cases from sun-up to basically sundown and barely wanting to look at my proliferation of e-mail let alone something more complicated like fanfic.

Hopefully, once I have passed the probationary period and gotten sufficient time under my belt, I can get me a shift where I come home with more energy and drive. Then, I think, shall come the Return :D

HOBBLEIT: Glad to know I’ve been missed around these parts, hobbleit. I am sure that once I have some stability in my work hours that I will be back with a vengeance. Though it might take me a while to plough through the backlog if I get crazy enough to tackle it 

MSB: *hugs right back…if I may* It’s mighty good to be back, even if it’s in a limited capacity. Just hope I can start dropping idea bombs with abandon like I was pre-July 2007 ;D

ALLIETHORN7: Glad to be back, Alliethorn7…and I can certainly try assisting you with your computer calamities. I can’t promise anything, because I am only trained dealing with certain physical issues and connectivity-related software problems. However, I can certainly point you in the right direction for specialized consultation :D

Welcome back!
Glad to see you alive- and I hope you can guide me through the inherent problems I seem to have with computers!

-Danny

HUGS glad it was only near death...It's nice to have you back:)

Welcome back. I've missed your wonderful comments on all my stuff

Good to see you 'round again, man. Are you back to commenting on just about everything that appears in the BSR? ;)

And, glad to hear you've gotten right, 'cause you ain't gettin' left.

Welcome back BEB. You've been missed around here. Your comments are always so perceptive.

Goodness gracious! That's a lot going on! I know what you mean about having doubts/regrets about moving on to a new position, but I'm sure this will be a good move for you.

Good to have you back BEB!

Welcome back! Missed your posts. happy you have escaped various near-death and all.

Wow BEB. Good to see ya back around again. Get to wondering about folks. Wondering if you were lost in the black or what.

Welcome back.
