Lizz, so sorry to hear that real life commitments are forcing you to make this decision, but I accept it nonetheless. I do hope that things pick themselves up, and sometime in the future you'll return from your leave of absence, and pending discussion with your successor, may or may not be reinstated as Records Officer, as you have done an exemplary job since you took over from Ismael92. Look forward to seeing you soon buddy.
For now, Byte has volunteered to take over for the time being, however I would hope to induct a new Records Officer as soon as possible. With this in mind, anyone who would like to volunteer for the position, please PM me. Thanks to the fantastic work Byte has put in, it's a somewhat easier job than it once was, however some training is required (though I'm sure if you ask nicely, and swear your undying allegiance to her, Byte will be glad to assist :P). It's an important role, and you'll have the gratitude of the entire Barracks for undertaking it. My only request is that you only put your name forward if you feel you are in a position, at least in the short term, to be reasonably active in the Barracks and thus have the time to fulfill the duties required of you. Nobody will freak out if the roster is a day or two late, but we do not want a scenario where our Records Officer is AWOL for weeks at a time.
I will deliberate with other Barracks Officers once I receive volunteer PMs, and hopefully in a week or two we'll decide who should replace Lizz. If you do volunteer and don't get the job, please don't be disheartened. We at the Barracks are the best of the best, frankly every active member of the Barracks is easily capable of doing this job. Besides which, I anticipate it will be a very tough decision; it's like choosing your favourite child to an extent.
To sum up, I want to thank Lizzardis for all his hard work as the Records Officer, wish him luck for the future, and I eagerly await applicants for his vacated position.
