Hey Everyone,
Normally we don't announce staff changes or make them public in the forums. However, since I'm probably the most active DAZ employee in the forums I feel/hope that my absence won't go unnoticed.
Friday the 8th will be my last day here at DAZ. I've accepted a position teaching middle school math. It's been just over a year since I moved to a full time position here and became the public face of the company in the forums and I've got to say its been a great year.
I'd like to thank all of you for making this community what it is. I'd also like to thank you all for an amazing year. I wish you all the best and I hope to bump in to you all in the forums from time to time. I won't be going by DAZ_jared anymore, but I'll still be around occasionally under my PA name Jr. PupN'Such.

Good luck Mr. Jared!
Just remember that you won't be allowed to use the hammer any more.
Well, you're already used to dealing with trolls, so that should serve you in good stead. :D
It's always sad to lose a voice of sanity around here. All the best, and may your lesson plans never grow shorter.
After dealing with forum and customers, teaching a class of kids will be a piece of cake. ;-)
Good luck, and thanks for all the hard work.
Best of luck to you and your endeavors Jared. Been a pleasure! Hugs
I'm sad to see you go... I've only been around here about a year as well, so you have been a familiar fixture for me. Best of luck with the teaching gig, I can't say I would be able to do that :)
lol, if you are coming back as Jr. PupN’Such I look forward to seeing the avatar. :coolsmirk:
Sadly, DAZ is losing one of their best employees. You have been a great help both to me and to many other customers. Many thanks for all your hard work ar DAZ. You will definitely be greatly missed both as a great customer advocate and troubleshooter and here on the forums in general.
Best wishes for you in your new employment.

Already told you but good luck. It's been a privilege to work with you and keep in touch with us.
Wishing you the best of luck and much success, Jared. Thanks for all your hard work in the community here.
Thank you for everything you have done for the community. I'll be looking forward to seeing posts from Jr. PupN’Such. :) Best wishes in your new job!
Really appreciate your contributions esp. to the forums........good luck..........(Middle School..... he'll be back in 2 weeks:)
All the best, Jared. Good luck with your new set of monsters.
Cheers,
Alex.
Should be interesting.
@Jared - Good luck sir, you're going to need it. :coolsmile:
my condolences...sorry I mean good luck with the new job. As it has been said already you were good at being the public face of DAZ£D, you will be missed.
Sorry to hear that Jared, you have been a great deal of help here on the forums.
You will be missed, best wishes on your new job, I'm sure it will be very rewarding.
Sorry to see you go (you've often been a great help to me when I've had problems/queries) but I'd like to wish you the best of luck with your new teaching job.
I hope they let you come back mate :lol:
I tried a teaching course over 30years ago and dropped out screaming and crying, OTHER PEOPLES kids have not gotten better I think either, put me right off of having any though I doubt mine could have ever been THAT BAD, before that I liked kids a lot.
Nooooooooooooo! .... With that out of the way, I hope you have great kids in your classes and that your school admins are not jerks! Best of luck and have fun!
Best of luck to you. The kids will have a great teacher I am sure.

Oh, crap! We drove another one away! :-)
At least you got some experience with obnoxious, head-strong, and opinionated here; the big change is now you get to listen to it rather than reading it - and less time to work up your response. :-)
OTOH, middle school math should present fewer issues than what you've been through here.
We'll miss you - but good luck in the new endeavor!
(Oh - and you may not have the big hammer any more, but I hear chalk and erasers work pretty well :-) )
Best of luck in your new job. Your posts here have been helpful. I hope DAZ assigns someone else to fill the void that will be left when you leave.
The children's gain is our loss - good luck with the wee monsters :)
My Dad was a custodian at a middle school for a while. I hope your high blood medicine is very good...
:)
You did a great job with the community here, so a move to a math teacher is great news, best of luck in the new job and future endeavors.
lol, if you are coming back as Jr. PupN’Such I look forward to seeing the avatar. :coolsmirk:
Lion tamer...? ;-P
Best of luck for the future.
Good luck, Jared! Middle school math, eh? Don't forget that the best teachers are the ones that challenge their students to think. I basically slept through the first 5-6 years of school. I kept getting sent home with blank pages the teacher had inscribed with "This represents 4 hours of classwork!" :red: Then, a math teacher decided to teach some of the brighter kids Boolean Algebra. It was like a light bulb turned on over my head. Within a couple of years, I was reading the Radio Amateur's Handbook cover to cover to teach myself electronics, and I was at the head of the class. Appreciating the power and beauty of mathematics is not something kids can learn with their thumbs on some gadget. They actually have to use the grey matter...
"There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary numbers, and those who don't."
Good luck!
can i have your chair?
