MangoCon 2016 and Me
-
There has been a lot of questions about MangoCon 2016 and me, in regards to if I will be attending. So before I tell you what's going on, I want to just explain a couple things.
2015 was, without a shred of doubt, the worst year of my life. I honestly don't know if I'll have another year like that ever. I certainly hope not. I was dealing with a lot personally, and because of that I made more mistakes than I care to recount or than I'm sure I'm even aware of. That is NOT an excuse, and actions have consequences. I'm aware of that. I made many, MANY poor choices and are STILL dealing with fallout from that. I've already come a long ways but I've still got a very long ways to go...and I am aware of that.
At a different conference in Texas last year, I let loose. Way more loose than I should have. I was also wound tighter than I realized at the time, and was very over-the-top as a result, which resulted in more poor decisions. For this, first of all, I want to apologize to everyone.
When I first started at NTG in November 2012, I told @Minion-Queen that my job was to make her life easier, and that the day that I was no longer doing that, she should not keep me as an employee. Even though I no longer work at NTG, I still strive to not make her life difficult, and unfortunately, because of the decisions I made last year, I have a lot of trust to rebuild and relationships to mend.
Therefore, with that in mind, I have decided to forgo attending MangoCon 2016. I will still be attending Spiceworld Austin 2016, where I hope to see many of you there, and hopefully repair the damage done last year. I'm not asking people to forget the past. I'm simply asking for a chance at a better future, and a chance for a fresh start. If anyone wants to talk, you're more than welcome to message me here, Facebook, or you can ask for my cell and we can gladly text/talk.
I will be attending the tour of Allegany State Park following the conference, so I'll see many of you there, and I'm very excited about that! But I hope this alleviates any potential issues for Danielle and wish you all a fantastic time at the conference!
Thanks,
A.J. -

Wherever "there" is. We might be in Letchworth, you might be down south in the mountains wondering where we aer....
