Personal Announcement - Extended Leave

[Dave-O2]

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 and Mrs Dave on arrival of William.

and Welcome Back to the madhouse err Community. 

We`ve behaved - well tried to behave - while you`ve been away.

Glad to see all is well with you and your family @Dave-O2 ; the three-months away must have passed in the blink of an eyelid ! 👍

Good to see you back, and I am sure @Kei-M_O2 has left you a nice short list of things to be done this month 🤣

There's a list alright.....😂

Welcome back @Dave-O2, and commiserations - you can now look forward to having 2 full time jobs for the next 20 years 😁.

Thanks,

[Dave-O2]

Afternoon all 😊

I'm bumping this thread, as from next Tuesday 2 December, I will be using up the rest of my leave for the year and taking an extended Christmas break, so I can enjoy my FIRST Xmas with William and the family ❤️🌲

William will be 5 months old soon, where has that time gone? 😋

I will return on Monday 6th January 2025.

Again in my absence, @Kei-M_O2 will be around for anything that needs to be picked up urgently, however, Kei will also be on leave from Wednesday 11 December.

From this date, feel free to still tag me in anything that needs my attention, however, set the expectation that this won't be picked up until 6 January 2025 onwards 📆

@Oxonian,@TallTrees, @pgn, @Cleoriff, @MI5, @gmarkj, @madasaf1sh, @jonsie, @RunrigForever, @BobM, @Enlli, @Bambino, @Pipstop78, @Mi-Amigo 

Thanks for listening 👍

Time really has flown.

Enjoy your Christmas break. I'm sure we will behave both for @Kei-M_O2 and while unsupervised. Honest...

Enjoy the time with your new family. 👍

They grow up very quickly so appreciate every moment.
