So long... 6:39 PM

To my Modem friends,

I leave you all with just a couple of words: Buy BLUE Dog and Cat Food! Please.
(Now that’s a call-to-action.)

Goodbye and Goodluck from DS 5:50 PM

To Modem Media ENO,

For those of you who don’t know me, you’re probably better off, those of you who do; thank you. Though I spent only a short time walking these halls, I made some lasting friendships and enjoyed working with all of you. Most of you already know that I am westward bound to sunny California and I cannot wait any longer. The lack of snow, beaches and perfect riding weather were too much for me to pass up. I look forward to all of that and more, but I am sad to leave. Some of you spent many a long night with me in front of pitchy work, XX work, XX and XX; I loved it all, you all hold a close place in my heart. To everyone else, you’re kinda close too, but not quite as close; don’t be sad, we had something special too.

I’m not sure what I will be doing in California yet, but I look forward to hearing from you, and I will try to stay in touch too. I’m very good at AIM, it is so immediate that it is hard to ignore; you’ll find my contact info below. If we were close then you are welcome to stay with me in Santa Monica, just let me know when you are coming.

Once again, thank you all for an amazing 4 months, I’ll stop by whenever I am in town.
DS

Adios 3:14 PM

After a long 9 year run, I have decided to move on from Modem. It has been an absolute pleasure working with all of you over the years and I wish you all continued success.

In lieu of anything witty that I can come up with, I'll leave you with this wonderful website to sum things up: http://iiiiiiii.com/


All the best,
MD

Bye-ku 9:13 PM

It's very hard to say goodbye to this group, so I won't. Because I'll be hanging around so much you'll be thinking "geez, hasn't she left YET?!?" The last two years were both excruciating and wonderful. I owe the wonderful part to all of you, for the professionalism, intelligence, humor, dedication, IM's, shared all-nighters, emails, Wykus, alcoholism, and wild dancing (you know who you are.) Thank you for all of it.

As for the excruciating part, I can at least say I learned a tremendous amount, and I hope I'm a better marketer for it. And I still think we should all write a book together about our experience and make millions.

Please keep me on the cc list for all the good emails. You can now reach me at XXX, and of course on AIM or my cell.

So I offer one last Bye-ku:

I bid you adieu-
What a long, strange trip it's been.
You are all my friends.

:-P

TS 1:42 PM

On Behalf of AD

Folks,

It's been 12 outstanding years here for TS, and we'd like to thank him for all that he's given and meant to Modem and wish him well in his post-Modem life. There is really no other option for the proper send-off but an evening at the beloved (?) Duck.

So, please join us this Thursday evening, December 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the Black Duck Cafe (605 Riverside Avenue, Westport). My personal hope is to see T get so crazy that his well-coiffed hair ends up getting a bit mussed.

So long... 8:05 PM

All - After a 7 & 1/2 year run at Modem I've finally decided to the leave the nest. It's been amazing here and I'll truly miss the work, the atmosphere and especially, all of you. I feel so fortunate to have been surrounded by such bright, passionate people for all these years. I'll do my best to keep in touch, but please feel free connect with me any time.

Best,
TD

For anyone wondering what goes on in the exit interviews, I've attached a .wav file of mine

Farewell... 7:29 PM

Well, it's been a pretty good run -- 6 1/2 or so years -- but alas, today is my last day at Modem.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to talk to all of you personally, but please know that you each helped make my time at Modem worthwhile, fulfilling and most importantly to me, fun.

I wish you all well and hope our paths cross again someday.

Please keep in touch!
