Title: Hot_Dog steps down as manager
Post by: Hot_Dog on March 06, 2012, 10:21:33 am: Hello friends,

I have been invited to teach English in Russia this year, and preparation for my trip is leaving me less time to do what a good manager should do. Because of this, I have chosen to step down. From this point on, please do not send me messages that should go only to managers.

However, my time in Omnimaga is far from over. Furthermore, I am now a member of the Anti-Riot Squad, so I will continue to do my best to help make Omnimaga the most friendly calculator community in existence.

Glad you're sticking around, though, and hopefully your internet access is not too limited there (like when Barrett did a similar trip in Dominican Republic, where he was not allowed to get online due to some policies) so you are not cut from the rest of the world. Good luck! :)

Hopefully, once you do have more free time and ability to do so, you can return as manager.

Post by: Jonius7 on March 07, 2012, 07:35:03 am: Good luck Hot_Dog! I know you have progressed and achieved a lot, ever since I joined Omnimaga I was interested in your stuff, such as S.A.D Alpha (too bad it's not being developed anymore :( ), and your ASM tutorials. I'm sure you'll continue to contribute to Omnimaga and the calculator community, and Good Luck!

Post by: Jonius7 on March 07, 2012, 06:08:04 pm: @BlakPillar Australia? Woohoo you can visit me on the Gold Coast! Lol

Yeah and the whole Putin political mess is quite disturbing.

I heard that there was an "assassination attempt" about a week or two ago, and then he wins by 60%? Hmm... So yes, just be careful, Hot_Dog. I have a feeling there is going to be a revolt or two in the near future.

Didn't Putin just win nearly 2/3 again for the third time?

I speak some Russian, but this is a higher-level class, so the kids know some English. English is a second language in Russia like Spanish is in the United States.

I'll definitely be careful :)

It's quite an opportunity you have been given. Not everyone has the chance to travel to the other side of the world. Make the most out of your stay, and don't overwork yourself! Be sure to pack plenty of warm clothes too. :D
