Personal Announcement - Extended Leave

Dave-O2 — Tue, 18 Jun 2024 12:24:52 GMT

Hello

I'm dropping this message, as I have some exciting personal news to share 😁

I am currently getting ready to welcome my first child into the world, so I'll be taking some extended leave from my current role as O2 Community Manager, but don't worry I will be returning.

My last working day will be Friday 28 June (unless he/she decides to come earlier) and I will return to the O2 Community in early October.

In my absence, @Kei-M_O2 who is the VMO2 Social Community Lead will be keeping an eye on the day-to-day activity of our Community. Kei will have other responsibilities across the business, so to set your expectations he will not be able to pick up all tasks during my extended leave.

A couple of further points I would like to share are below ↘️

O2 Rewards – We will still aim to post these monthly and request credits to be added, however worst-case scenario I will catch up any outstanding Rewards on my return.
Seasonal content – If you would like any summer content produced, word scrambles, wordsearches, movie discussions etc. This will need to be planned and organised by members.

Thanks for listening 👍

Dave.

Congratulations @Dave-O2 to you and your family. You'll be missed here.

Have a good break, teach yourself how to change nappies and prepare to lose a lot of sleep.😂

Congratulations to you and the family @Dave-O2 !

As others mention, start practicing napping and sleeping when you can. Sleep will become a precious commodity in the future...

Congratulations @Dave-O2

I would start banking sleep now for the next few months and enjoy every minute with your new born...

And welcome the madhouse @Kei-M_O2

Early October sounds a long time away @Dave-O2, but it is only an absence of three months' duration ; it will pass in the blink of an eyelid.

All the very best to you and your "t'other half", and do please drop in here and post a photograph of your baby when you feel that the time is right. 👍
