Top 10 reasons why we'll miss Mandy

Today is Mandy's last day at SLANT. Yes, she's moving out to sunny L.A. to take on her new position as Director of Marketing for the L.A. Chamber of Commerce.  But before she leaves, we present to you the Top 10 Reasons why we'll miss Mandy.

10) We just became 40% less healthy.
9) Make that 90% less healthy.
8) Nobody is going to call the office anymore just to gossip.
7) No more culinary surprises for the office from Mandy's mom.
6) Christopher won't have anyone to yell at for being so happy all the time.
5) No more hijacking Mandy's Facebook page with hilarious status updates when she forgets to log out.
4) We won't have anyone to knife fight during the next election year.
3) The IT department will be bored stiff without anyone screwing up stuff on their Mac.
2) We won't have anybody who can pull off wearing red cowboy boots (not even Will).

And the number one reason we'll miss Mandy:

1) Uh..we're losing our Voice of Reason.  Where are we going to get our reasonableness from?

So Mandy - it's with a heavy heart that we say: "So long, and best of luck.  We know you'll do an amazing job out there.  Just don't forget about us little southern folk when you're hob-knobbin' with the celebs on the red carpet!"

Love, 
SLANT

Thank you Mandy, it has been great working with you. I wish you the best. As Christopher said, just remember us when you are making small talk with Ahnold.

I wish you all best and am excited for the new opportunity placed in front of you. How will SLANT find anyone better? Thanks for everything you've done for BANa. What a great way to start off the new year!

Hey wait a minute – I look GOOD in red cowboy boots, dammit! Just not as good as Mandy...
We are gonna miss you my friend!

And thus begins the season of unreasonableness at SLANT.

So who's going to take pictures of Christopher when he falls asleep at his desk now?? And keep him from bickering with his work wife (aka Will)?? And now they're going to make fun of MY Mac skills....
It is truly the end of an era at Slant and we will all miss you!! Best of luck out there and get Slant some LA clients so we can come visit. :)

We all love our Mandy. We're going to miss your sweet voice and intriguing IM's. Good luck out in LA! Remember all us little people when you make it to the big time.

Mandy... All the best to you! You will be missed by all in Slant's world. See you at next years Scientology convention.

Awww...sniff...love you guys! And I didn't screw up the macs (that much).

Hey, can I still post SLANT blogs? Maybe we call them SLANTwest. I promise my photos will be more exciting than anything you guys can come up with. Me with Gerard Butler...me with Andy Garcia...me with Vigo. Oh, sorry...what were we talking about?

Thanks to all of you for making the last 2.5 years some of the best, most fun of my life. It'll be a long time before Scientology wipes you all from my mind. And in the meantime, I promise to stay in touch.
