Leave of Absence

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would prefer not to do this, but because of a real life situation beyond my control. I am afraid I will have to do this.

I do expect to come on and vote and stuff, but the next few days are going to to be really hard and I don't want Atlasia to suffer as a result. By posting this, it will enable AZ to run the House as Deputy Speaker for the next few days.

To give official dates, I will say Feb 2nd - 5th.

I wish this was something that could just "clear up".

I updated most of the noticeboard and cast all the pending votes that I have seen. For the time being I am going to leave 1184AZ in charge as acting Speaker, until things settle down and I can get some more certainty about things.

In hindsight, this was a rather poor choice of words

I expect to have a lot to take care of tomorrow. After tomorrow, I will know better where I am at. I wish I could give more definitive answers on when things will be more normal, I need them for my own sanity even more then you guys need them, so I am just as eager to be able to give them. 

Truth be told, once we get the kinks out, having the Deputy Speaker more integrated into the daily workings is probably something I would like to continue. That way it is not shock therapy to have to suddenly take over, and also sometimes even in normal circumstances you just cannot get on a certain day.

 For instance AZ started a vote, I ended it on a certain bill within hours of the time having expired. That kind of efficiency is just delicious.
