In case you have noticed that I have not posted editorials and quiz snippets from SoftTimes in a long time and wonder if the global 'slowdown' (another post coming up on 'slowdown') has claimed another victim, lemme assure you that it is not the case..... :)
I have not been posting for these for sometime since I am mentally preparing myself for the fact that soon the day will come when I will no longer be the editor of SoftTimes. I have already spoken about drafting in a couple of new members in the team to take my place, and the editorial duty will be passed on to the group as a whole, with people taking turns to write the edit.
The team is yet to be apprised of the churn in the offing. I wait before divulging this information for two reasons. One, some from the team will panic as there were very few members who has the inclination to manage the editorial duty in the first place. Second, I don't want the change of guard to be a long drawn one, I don't want to see a SoftTimes in my mailbox which I have played no role in creating. On my last day, my mail account will be terminated and I will be 'Out of Circulation' for SoftTimes.
I am mentally preparing for the transition. Just that, I am going to miss ST a lot. it gave me a chance to boss people around, look condescendingly at a poorly drafted article and regularly dodge brickbats for the a variety of reasons .'Quiz was too difficult', '**** article had a spelling mistake', 'The Joke section wasn't funny', 'See ..... ST came to my inbox at 5:31 PM' (officially, we must release it by 5.30PM every Friday) ...... am going to miss these pick up lines.
Thank you SoftTimes ........ come June, I will no longer be a part of you..... but ST will be a part of me for a long time to come ........
