Howdy, all. Contrary to popular opinion, I have no dropped completely off the face of the earth. It’s hard to believe that it’s been a little over a year since I was on OCN about 18 hours a day, but it’s been one heck of a year. I’ve had the best of intentions of becoming involved again (heck, I never intended to stop being involved), but life has been busy throwing curve balls my way on a fairly regular basis.

As some of you may know, we had our first baby last September. I had every...

As most everyone has seen, there are a ton of positions currently advertised for staff positions. It has taken a major effort to get to this point, and there will be a lot of work to sort through and evaluate all of the nominations, tweak the site setup to accommodate the new staff structure, and get all of the successful nominees promoted and trained.

For a while now I've been wanting to post something on what I'm working on to give everyone some insight into what this position entails and how it ties into the rest of the staff. It should also serve to provide a persistent excuse for why I'm often slow in responding to PMs.
