$f5a Just when you thought it was quiet..... $faa|1- Mammoth is back!!!!! by Mammoth/Syndicate $ffa Yes, I am back and I have to say a huge "SORRY!!" to all those who were worried about me and had contacted me without a reply. This is due to the following reasons.... 1 - Me moving 2 - Me losing a good friend and nearly having a breakdown (serious!) Yep, its sure been traumatic ere in Croydon, the above have happened in three months flat, nearly cost me my job but thanks to a WONDERFUL person at work (thanks Petula, luv ya!) I managed to fight a depression that threatened to swallow me up. First, my new addy is Flat 7, Lower Addiscombe Road Croydon Surrey for correspondence. Next, I struck up a friendship with the Operations Manageress last year, we became very close friends and I loved her madly but in late January she left the Company suddenly leaving me on my own (she lives forty miles away) and I could`nt take not seeing her any more. She had got me through a rough patch in October and she was the reason I stayed in the job, I cried solidly for two weeks in the evenings, lost two stone in weight and hit the bottle. Its only thanks to the girl at work coming round most evenings and being there for me that stopped me having a breakdown, its the fact that I had a hand to hold that got me through it. Its funny how you take to people, I fell for this girl big time, we would go out at lunchtime, she trusted me and I trusted her, we would even hold hands whilst walking along. But get this, we never shared an intimate relationship and only kissed once to my knowledge. So why was I so blown away about her leaving?? Answer - Because at the time I was desporately lonely and she was the only mate I had, and to lose her was like losing a sister. I still keep in touch with her in fact I phoned her yesterday, she has gone contracting (so have I, see seporate article) and is enjoying it, good luck to her thats what I say. So, I`m back for now and I intend to stay on the Amiga for a while at least, given all my problems over the past few months its great to be back. Expect some quality demos soon. end
