Maggs away

Dear Maggie,

Another one of my ol’ standanistas. You always kind of seemed like the business end of stand to me. Not in the like “stuffy, money minded” kind of way, but more in the “let’s get this shit done” kind of way. I knew that if ever you were brought on to a project, that means shit just got real. The powers that be decided whatever it is that I was working on at the time was important enough to merit sending the wolf in to “manage some assets”.

One of the things that stuck me about a lot of you stand folks is how determined and professional you were. I mean in my eyes you were mostly kids, but jesus you all put to work like you were vets. I think a lot of this was do to me hearing kids say things like “I am not a good test taker” for the better part of my life, and in general having no faith in the youth of the country.

Everytime I see a post from you on my news feed you are off in some far flung place making a difference. While that makes me feel rather like a lump of do-nothing, it makes it easier for me to know that someone out there is putting their money where their mouth is.

One regret I have is I never managed to finish that little project of ours that will go unnamed. It would have been some of my finest work ever, and to this day I marvel at its ingenuity. I know by letting you go that I may never hear from you again, but I will take solace in the fact that you are always in my gchat list, and if ever there need be a me for you, I am one click a way.

You are awesome and all that, I think I have made that pretty clear, if you haven’t already made it abundantly apparent by your actions.

Today was a great day, but tomorrow our FBfriendship will end,

Curt
