I might be taking a break from S2K or leaving

I have a lot going on in my life right now. With the stress from an event that you all may find out about in a day or two, plus some board-related stress; in addition to admining three other boards and modding a fourth; I have to find a way to better manage my time - and that's in addition to my personal life which is currently nonexistent (and up in the air at this time). So this is an FYI that I might leave S2K or at least take a break...

Hang in there Josh. Sounds like you are busy. Take care of yourself first though.

Josh, you don't have to take such a drastic action. You could just cut down as much as you need to. Don't be a stranger. We'll miss you.

Josh, I don't want to see you leave or go away,
but, we're your friends - that means that you can
come in here, any time, and know that we are glad
to see you!

Hang in there Josh. Get hold of those priorities and then, when you can join us again, please do.

Your posts are appreciated...and I know from experience, when the going gets the toughest, you need your weather friends the most...

Hope to see you back soon.

Well, do check back in when you can, but, as others have said, your really life is much more important than this board. So, do what you need to do and we'll hopefully see you around sometime. I hope everything goes well.

Hello Joshua. You know I couldn't not respond to you in this thread. I hope nothing too serious has happened to you. I hate to see you not post here at all, that would be upsetting to most of us here at Storm2K.

If you would like to talk with me about anything please feel free to PM, IM or even e-mail me.

I am extremely glad I met you and we have something in common which makes us understand each other even more. :)

Your extended family is here for you! We all need to take a step back sometimes and make sure things are in their proper place. Hang in there and understand we're here for you if you need to talk! :-)

hang in there buddy... take a little siesta if necessary and/or turn off the pc and spend a few weeks doing things outside or that which you've put off for awhile. i've seen quite a few guys (and gals) over time who managed numerous internet activities come and go. the one's who survive are those who know when to say "when" and completely distance themselves from all this so as to recharge. i disappear as well from my pursuits so as to keep in check and be able to stay the course so you go right ahead and do the same. all of your affairs are in good hands (from what i've seen) and will be just fine in your absence. time is of the essence and the wx is nice so get out and enjoy it! best wishes and good luck! p

Josh, whatever you do, take care of NO. 1 first and that is you!!!!! This board and any others are not as important as you and your health. As all have said, we are your friends and "family" and will be here when you return and will be here for you whenever you need us.

Don't forget us because we won't forget you!! :D

Josh,

I agree with everyone here - if you need a break, or some time off from the boards, we'll always be here for you! I enjoy your posts and wish you only the best. Take this time if you need it but don't leave! Just keep the door open here - good luck managing it all Josh!

I've only learned in the past 5 years or so I'm just not a good juggler. Or as my daughter Nina likes to say I'm not good at multi-tasking! I used to run myself ragged years ago serving on several PTA boards (a ton of work for both), volunteering in my kids schools, chairing booths for festivals, etc. It was chaotic to say the least! I was also taking college classes part-time then, so add homework to my list of responsibilities. It's when I went out and bought 10 yellow folders to keep in the kitchen by the phone to organize all of it. I finally decided I just had to do a *few* things well, not 10 things so-so. Hope that analogy helps you somewhat. Not the same as being young and in college! Good luck.....

You need to take some *irons out of the fire*, slow down, take a deep breath, grasp hold of what's important in your life and concentrate on that. You will be sorely missed, your posts are very informative. Take care wxbuddy, stop by when you can!

Josh your health is much more important than storm2k or any board so take your time and when you feel fine come to us when you can do so. :)

Josh, I agree with everyone else as well. I hope you get things straightened out soon and please don't leave for good. Take a break if you need to but please pop in when you can. You'd be sorely missed if you never came back. :sad:
