I am off, done, finished, NOT DOING MUCH OF ANYTHING for the next week and a half.  TSP is officially shut down until Wednesday, January 1st, 2014.

What does this mean?

It means I am not working,  I not spending time doing much of anything at all related to business or work.  It means if you email me a long question, a proposal or much of anything at all during this shutdown you are likely wasting your time.  A week long shut down will create a huge back log of such things so MOST of it will just be deleted.  If you want to communicate with me on a meaningful level for anything other than an emergency, it will keep until January.

What it does not mean?

It doesn’t mean that actual customer service will be ignored.  Once a day when I am deleting a ton of email from people that think I don’t actually mean I am shut down I will also scan for any actual customer service.  Like I can’t log in to the MSB or something like that.  Or I need to cancel my renewal or I need the Safecastle Discount code or the Service Discount.

That type of thing can be done in a few minutes a day.  So I will provide that type of service during the shut down.  Everything else, well it will mostly be like it never happened.

We all need time off and this year I really need it.  I now belong to my wife, the rest of my family and my close personal friends.  I will see you in 2014 and wish you the very best Christmas and New Years possible.
