Waiting for something

Well everyone it's been a long time coming but sadly the time has come for me to say goodbye for the forseeable future. I really haven't been able to be that active in recent weeks and I've had some very exciting news happen.
Just last week I went for an interview for a promotion in my company and I got the job the job is back home in Belfast and is a brand new store in our company so I'm not moving back to the same store. I am finally the manager of my own store and team which I get to build from scratch! This is something that just under 4 years ago when I did my career profile and started managing , it asked me where I'd see myself in 5 years time and I said wanted to be running my own store, that dream has finally happened and I am so overjoyed and excited with my new promotion.
Sadly with my brand new responsibilites I have to knuckle down completely and show I'm taking the lead on this and as such I'm saying goodbye to everyone here and putting a lot of my current social life on hold so that I can get as much work as possible done in prep for this. My next 8 weeks are filled with getting recruitment done, packing, communicating constantly with my new regional manager that I've never worked before with, working in a couple of different stores related to my new one, juggling my prep for my new store along with for the next 2.5weeks still working in my current store covering my store manager's holidays, organise inductions and training and management training, yeah it's insane, after that I'm into halloween and Midterm break and the run up to xmas, and my plans need to be 4 weeks in advance. In between that when I'm not working I'll more than likely be spending free time with friends and family.
Perhaps from time to time in the new year I can pop my head in but I doubt it and I'll probably still check the front page for remake or FFXV news, but my days of posting are pretty much over I think and after this weekend this is more than likely the last you'll hear from me on the forums.
Can I just say I have always enjoyed my time here, the people, the atmosphere, everything about this place. I feel it's one of the best and close knit communities on a forum I've ever experienced. There are some people I've known since the ACF days and some people I met on this forum and thanks to you guys, community playthroughs, introducing me to the wonderful world of Skype and the TLSchat group, It's been a wonderful 10 years that I've got to know some of you so well and I've experienced as you've gone through life forging friendships, and sharing personal experiences of life both the good and the bad. So many of you have listened to me when I've been upset about something when no one else would, given me advice and just in general offered words of support and encouragement, it's meant a lot to me and I can't thank you enough for giving me that.
I would love to individually say something about so many members on this forum because so many of you have had an impact on me here but that's just it, there are so many of you, so all I can say is I hold every single one you in the highest regard and respect, you deserve the best in life and I wish you all the best.
Thank you so much TLS, it's been amazing!
