A Thanks and Goodbye to Clay

July 23, 2008, 05:33 AM posted in General DiscussionI have some sad news to announce for us and our poddies.
ChinesePod's Product Manager, Clay, has left Praxis Language. He is moving on to other ventures. We are all bummed about it, and Qing Wen will never be the same without the familiar Clay and Amber banter, but we are very appreciative for all that Clay brought to CPod over the past 9 months. Please join us in wishing Clay well in his future endeavors. We'll miss you, Clay!

Good luck Clay.

July 23, 2008, 07:37 AMChinesePod has grown (and I presume still is growing) changes are to be expected.
It's a testament to the community that ChinesePod has created that these changes are felt so widely.

July 23, 2008, 10:12 AMOh, Clay! You will be missed by me, certainly. Thank you for handling my grumpy posts with so much grace... I can't imagine a QW without you. Whatever better place you are headed too, I wish you all the best!

July 23, 2008, 06:51 AMSeems to be quite a lot of fluctuation of employees at ChinesePod. A good or a bad sign?

July 23, 2008, 10:43 AMOh, man! I was really beginning to like Clay's voice and his style. Clay, I hope we'll still see you on the community message boards. Good luck in your new ventures.

Ouch, bummer way for me to start the day. Sad to see you go Clay. Can't say I'll miss the slurp, but everything else you brought to CPod will definitely be missed.
My guess is that Clay and Amber were secretly married and now it's all come out. Clay was the one that had to leave, since Amber has seniority (and of course wears the pants in the relationship).
What will QW be without the banter? Best of luck with everything Clay!

July 23, 2008, 02:01 PMPlease say it ain't true!
I have really liked Clay's humor and character in the Qing Wen Series. I don't think Qing Wen will be as much fun to listen to as it was with Clay. Can we have at least one more Qing Wen with Clay?
I wish Clay the best of luck in his future endeavors and hopefully, we will hear form him again.

July 23, 2008, 03:02 PMThat's a bummer! Clay was great to listen to and very entertaining.
Great job on all the QW's. I'm sure you'll be the first thing that comes to mind for everyone who sits in a coffee shop and hears someone sipping a coffee
All the best mate

July 23, 2008, 05:46 AMWhat surprising news! Very sad to see Clay go. He brought humour and intelligence, contributing to the fun and effective learning experience.
When I came to Chinesepod, John, Jenny, Connie, Ken were all away (on purpose!?). I met Clay who had just started
Good luck.
