A Very SUF Goodbye from Dame Ellisa, KoS and Sufferlandrian Minion

Have You Suffered Today?

Almost 6 years ago, I stepped foot into a Very Dark Place -starting at the SUF Mines as The Rookie Minion. Yesterday was my final day at Wahoo - it is with great sorrow that I have resigned from my Minion duties in Sufferlandria.

It has been my absolute pleasure to serve all of Sufferlandria as the primary Minion for the past (almost) 6 years!

On most days, being your Minion was Half as Easy as doing The Chores. On the rare occasion, it was one Long Scream.

There have been so many highlights along the way that it could be classified as one big Joyride. Serving GvA isn’t an easy task…. you know what they say, Hell Hath No Fury like an angry GvA! But, I somehow managed to continue Getting Away With it for most of the time, and only had to report to flogging station #9 on a few occasions!

There have been a few close calls with Fluffy over the years, and although It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time, there was that one time where we decided to invite Fluffy to the Hamster races…it was NOT a good idea!

And climbing Mt. Sufferlandria, through the Lava Fields was well worth the view - it is like seeing Angels!

Let’s just say it has been one Rollercoaster of a Ride. I’ve held on with 14 Vise Grips, and sometimes it felt like I was in a Blender. But, as a SUF Minion, you Do As You’re Told!

Thank you all for bestowing your very best kindnesses on me when you’ve written into our support site! I consider myself very blessed to have been able to serve all of you! There is absolutely NO OTHER community like Sufferlandria!

I may drop in from time to time, because as you all know, you can never leave! I hope to see you all in the Nine Hammers Tavern.

Although there is No Place Like Home, it is High Time - I’ll show myself The Way Out!

More Than You!

Not only have you helped me resolve things several times over the past few years, you’ve really outdone yourself in how you’ve worked in all those sacred workout names to your message.

i wish you all the best!

Very sad news Dame Ellisa! You may have some idea you’ll be missed greatly, but I think that we’ll miss you far more than you really know!

Thanks so much, and whatever you do, don’t get comfortable!

Very sad to see you go, Dame Elissa! :broken_heart:

This is heartbreaking news for all of us. More than just your amazing customer support was your long and dedicated service to the nation. You will be sorely missed - tho you know you can never leave. You were a guiding light as we evaded Fluffy and dodged Laser Goats.

Wishing you all the best wherever the road takes you.

Dame Elisa,

Thank you so much for the excellent support you’ve given me/us over the years. You’ve always been helpful and caring, and your departure is a great huge loss to the community.

I wish you the very best in your journey.

@CPT_A I sure hope the writing isn’t on the wall but I’m really starting to wonder now.

Dame Elisa,

We thank you and salute you for your services to the Nation.

Good luck with your next adventure away from the lava fields. Hope you now get to enjoy some natural sunlight after being locked in the SUF windowless portacabin stashed away at the back of the Wahoo HQ for all that time.

PS: by my calculation, you’re probably the last true Sufferlandrian to leave Wahoo so please don’t forget to turn off the lights as you leave the premises.

@CPT_A if that calculation is correct, maybe the writing truly is on the wall :expressionless_face:

Sir Mac Cassin is still here working in exercise science. At least that’s the rumor. But other than him… I’m not sure.

Say it ain’t so??

It is indeed a sad day…of many of late. As we hang on for dear life as what was once so glorious becomes increasingly watered down by the day, we must acknowledge your invaluable contributions to Sufferlandria. I would say that you shall be sorely missed but then…you can never leave!

What a touching way to say you have moved on. I wish nothing but the best for you in this big change!

I still treasure my email confirming recognition of my quest. It is really so much more special to hear from a dyed in the wool Sufferlandrian than.. Otherwise.

You will be sorely missed in that official capacity but I look forward to seeing you in the Nine Hammers Tavern.

The sunsets above the Amber waves of pain are beautiful, even if it means a day is ending.

Rock on to new heights, Dame Ellisa​:flexed_biceps::volcano::t_rex::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer::hammer:
