Isn't this a mite tardy? Seems like I've been reading Amelia's wonderful posts for days now.

Yay Amy!!! I must confess that I naïvely assumed she was staff, already.

Welcome aboard! I recognized the News Staff audition the last few days, so I figured this was coming. I've delivered the hot branding irons to Cindy, you better get down to her office, pronto! Hugs, Devlyn

I too naively assumed that it was already done and dusted for quite some time. Anyway, it just shows that you really got off to a flying start Amelia. Thank you!

Geeee   Why?  Just because she has already been reporting news?   (https://www.susans.org/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fsmileys.on-my-web.com%2Frepository%2FAnimals%2Fferret-7.gif&hash=9f27f1603b9ef76a5d4bbeedcd1615f680c36e8b)

Congratulations, Amelia.

We lose a lot of Staffers that way!

Hmmmm, I'm rather surprised that the Mods haven't put in their coffee orders yet.

Oh, Amy, I forget to tell you about the News Staff Bicycle... it's kinda rusty, and only has one speed  ;)

Did someone say coffee?

Black, no sugar... pretty please. ;D

Welcome to the team, Amy. :)

Well joined! And do be careful of the staff bicycle: it recently collided with a much slower news cycle and lost half of its protective rust!
24 hour use for over a decade means it has passed more posts than a New South Wales lorry lollie!

Ooooooo  That is right!  Newbies do coffee and donuts.  Coffee, Blonde and sweet.  Bacon Maple Bar.  Please.

Is it safe to come back in? I don't see Cindy so I should be okay.

Thank you Donna & Ms. OBrien. :)

With the donations and subscriptions coming in, I think we should push for a new bicycle. Or at least a newer, used one... with two speeds!  ;)

Welcome to the team, Amy. :)

*sigh* *hands Sephirah her coffee* Black, no sugar, just like you requested.

Other than the extra work, thank you Sephirah. ;)

Not again.

I had no idea it would be this much work. Hey Shana, where was my gofer trial period?   :eusa_doh:

Welcome Amy! :laugh:

You can bring the coffee while the branding iron warms up - if only Jamie would stop sitting on it

Coffee??  Don't touch the stuff.

"Earl Grey.  Hot."

(Keep up the good work, Amy)

One would think after 20k posts, that they'd get a new bike for me... but nooooooooo. Well, the one speed is certainly keeping me in shape... or wearing me out <Shana huffs and puffs up the hill>  :laugh: :laugh:

After a recent post of Cindy's, I may not have to get that tea.  >:-)

Thank you! :)

With posts like this, we'll never get a new bike. :eusa_doh:

I think you shouldn't have to make all of them. And deserve one yourself. :)

I have to give Amy kudos.

She had to edit (gatekeep/micromanage/flyswat) one of my forum posts this afternoon and did so with professionalism, discretion, and respect.

Good work,

Maddy
