24 Reasons Why I'll Never Forget My Time As A Writer For Pajiba

By Joanna Robinson | Lists | January 31, 2014 |

Today’s not technically my last here at Pajiba. I’m a completist, so you will get a final Sherlock post from me this Sunday night. But that’s a strange time to say goodbye. Sunday night. So we’re going to get it out of the way today. I’ve already cried my fill because of all the sweet things both the staff and the commenting community has written for me today so this post seems a little late. My posts were always a little late anyway. But I *had* to say something. And who knows, friends, this may not be goodbye at all. Dustin, peach that he is, has said I can come running back to y’all whenever I want. But it’s at least a farewell and that honestly breaks my heart. So I thought I’d express my fondness and my regret in traditional Robinson fashion. It’s self-indulgent, it’s insider-y and, brace yourselves, poppets, there will be gifs. Know this: I Pajiba Love you all.
