not exactly breaking news

For those who don't know, (and who care) at the end of the last year I resigned from LD50.

Sooo, that's it then. Not much else to say.

i'm-sorry-congratulations?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Pretty much exactly like that, yeah.

It feels a lot like leaving a relationship.

This is where most people insert something about "creative differences" or "concerns over directions of the company"

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

You left out "pursuing other goals".

[hellsop.livejournal.com]

Yup, I missed that one. Do we need a night of heavy drinking to bring out the story? Or just in general?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Dude, I'll always tell stories if drinking is involved. :-)

Guess I've been out of the loop more than I thought.

[allezbleu.livejournal.com]

had no idea..... can i ask why?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Well, the short answer is that the company never really did the things that I envisioned for it. And since I was putting things like, "Find a job that doesn't make me want to slash my wrists" on hold to see how things fared with LD50, it was long past time to decide to go.

I definitely want to keep a toe in the water, so to speak, and I'll definitely be getting involved in projects again later. I just need to get my own life sorted out a bit first.

yeah i understand... well good luck for the future anyway ;^D

You forgot to mention that the rest of the company unanimously followed suit not long afterwards.

I've been thinking a lot about what went wrong, and like you, I'm not saying never again, but I'm definitely saying not right now.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

I didn't forget it. I figured it wasn't my announcement to make.

[50-ft-queenie.livejournal.com]

So who's it is then?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Er... LD50's of course.

[the_axel]

Etieene as President & CEO or yours as Chief Communications Officer.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Maybe we should have an autopsy.

I'm only half kidding - I know what I think went wrong, but I think it would be really educational to hear other peoples' opinions.

Last I was tracking it, it was you and CasperVonB (? maybe? Pluto is more in the loop than I am) and a few others. I clicked on the link in your post to the new website and was like "huh?" I'm glad you picked what makes you happy, tho I'm sad you lost something you founded. As Kalmn said, "i'm-sorry-congratulations?"

[elixxir.livejournal.com]

Wow...I'm sorry to hear that. Here's to having the time to focus on other things now?

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

That's the plan.

[deathboy.livejournal.com]
