For pretty much three years I’ve been taking care of the Fermi Sandbox in Second Life, one of the major sandboxes that are around. Starting as normal visitor, pulled in by a friend, I worked myself to caretaker and Retail Operations Manager, which I have been doing with all the love and dedication I could find.
In the early days all retail-changes were kept on an Excel-sheet, but since there are so many transactions that turned out to be too much of it. To make life easier I was able to develop a nearly fully automated system, together with the help of Arthur Fermi (the owner of Fermi Sandbox) and hours of google.
As things go along on their own, it also brought me to a point of being stuck, not able to do something else besides all the hassel. For that, together with the feeling not fitting in their team anymore and having to justify myself for everything I do, it brought me to my decision to resign from my job at Fermi and look abroad for new challenges, inspiration, but mostly the ability to take things easier.
This I have found at the Little Blue Sandbox, where they gave me the well known warm family feeling, something I have been missing the last months at Fermi. I am Gillian Carthage and her Little Blue team very grateful for their warm welcome aboard their ‘ship’. Special thanks also goes to Arthur Fermi for giving me all those opportunities at the Fermi sandbox, together with being such a wonderful person to work with.
