well well,

Al, well well!

welcome in your new role....been trying to think hwo often we have agreed vs not agreed?

Now I can always disagree with you because you crossed over to the dark side

Surley and Seriously though (dont call you Shirley) welcome and congratulations.
Now if Tiffany, Harry Winstone, Graff and De Beers had 1/2 a corporate brain, they would do the same thing.
Not to mention other vendors here

Okay girls (and guys), that one is mine - yup you heard it, Laurence is MINE, ALL MINE.

I do live closest to his office after all.

John, congratulations and we eagerly await your return!

ALJ---wow! Can''t think of a better person to take the job! Congratulations!

OK, I suppose you can have Laurence even though they are looking for a cushion for me. I''ll take Leviev, then.

so i''m gone for 4 days and operating on minimal coffee consumption after a late night flight home...but i didn''t want to wait any longer to post.

i could write something really long and eloquent, but there''s that lack of coffee thing...so suffice it to say that it''s very hard for me to imagine WF without John, but i know that he''s heading off to amazing things and am very glad that he won''t be gone from PS forever. too many wonderful people have come and gone that we miss dearly. John *was* this position in WF as he created it with blood, sweat and tears, and I know it''s hard with any type of ''change''... but I also know my amazing friend Alj will step into John''s big shoes and easily be able to mold them to her own smaller pair of sparkly adorned tootsies. She''s got the determination, the heart, and most importantly the passion for a position like this and it absolutely thrills me to see her so excited about it, and also to see how wonderfully accepting the PS community is about it as well. it really speaks to the generous spirit of the people here.

big hearty congrats and hugs to both john and alj...!!!

now must find more coffee.

Congrats John, I hope that this new adventure is everything you hope it to be! I look forward to your return once things calm down a little bit.

Alj, can''t think of a better person to replace JQ. I can imagine how exciting this must be for you! A big slice of key lime PIE from here.

Hope that delectable looking pie for Alj has REAL CREAM FG....

Thanks again to each and every one of you for the kind comments. I echo Brian Gavin’s words of gratitude for the support you have all shown. I’d also like to thank Brian again for his valuable advice and encouragement.

To those who’ve sent email, my box is hopping.

I promise to reply personally, but wanted to touch base tonight to give thanks to everyone here once more. This is such a cool community... Best wishes and see you down the road.

 

[Diamond*Dana]

[JohnQuixote]

...A note to anyone who sent email to my WF address after January 31: I promised to reply above but have not had access to that account. I've been told some well-wishes were sent and wanted to thank you here, in case I'm not able to do it privately.

 

[decodelighted]

Whooooooaaaaa. Big doings around here. How did I miss *this*??? Congrats to both John & Ajd!

p.s -- Darn that "diamond knowledge" and "helpful spirit" ... ***I*** thought the key to landing fab new positions was "biting snark" and "colorfully-detailed American Idol coverage". RATS!

 

[cutes814]

[onedrop]

John, congrats on the new position!! You have been very helpful to PS and many PSers individually and that really can''t be replaced. We will miss your informative posts but it''s nice to know you aren''t gone for good. Best wishes in your new opportunity.

[flutterby]

[John P]

I wanted to update the thread with my new username and info.

It’s been a terrific few months with the new job. I had some amazing weeks in Antwerp with some amazing people, traveled around the US quite a bit and discovered even more great friends to add to my already-cool collection.

Speaking of which, I sure have missed you all. I look forward to catching up.

 

[Lorelei]

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


GREAT TO SEE YOU AND MANY CONGRATS SIR JOHN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can I still call you Sir John?

 

[Ellen]

Hey! I JUST this morning said to myself, "self, I wonder where John is and when is he coming back"? And here you are!


You''ve been missed, great to see you back!!
