DarkeSword Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Yes well, as some people may have noticed, I've shown up again in the Judges' Decisions forum. Many of you probably don't know this, but I didn't leave the panel at the beginning of the year for entirely the same reasons I quit being a moderator. At the beginning of last year, 2006, I graduated from college with a BS in Electronics Engineering. I did a job hunt for a while and eventually ended up taking a job as an instrument and controls technician at a nuclear power plant that summer. The job ended up being a big disconnect from the different kinds of things I'd done in school and was eating up a lot of my time in terms of commute and shift work (I did 12 hour night-shifts 7 days a week for the entire month of October). That, coupled with some personal issues with some very important people in my life, was putting a lot of stress on me, and causing a great deal of frustration, both personally and professionally. I'd been "out of it" for a while, and I'd felt like the quality of my judging was taking a hit. That wasn't fair to the artists being judged; if I wasn't confident in my own decisions, was I qualified to make them? When the proverbial shit hit the fan in January, I'd had just about enough of all the bullshit I'd had to put up with as a mod; the last thing I needed in my life was more stress. OCR was supposed to be something I enjoyed, not something to get pissed off over. So when I quit being a mod, I'd decided it was a good opportunity to make a complete break from the site. Things have been getting better. I recently changed jobs; I work as an engineer at a laser diode company, which is very rewarding and exciting. Personal stuff has taken a turn for the better as well. Larry asked me a few nights ago on IRC if I'd be interested in helping out a bit, as there's a big backlog in the queue. I said I'd think about it; last night I let him know that I'd be willing to hop back on to help out. Being "away" from the site has been very beneficial. When you're a judge and a mod, you tend to view everything in a much more critical light. Taking a long break from that helps to refocus a little. As far as things stand now, my time on the panel is temporary, but for an indefinite amount of time; I don't know if I want to make OCR into a big priority for me again. But for the time being, it's good to be back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
