Fine, I'll make my own announcement.

Geeesh...if this is how they are going to treat me now that I'm on the team......hmmmph. laugh out loud






OK here's the scoop...are you paying attention?



I had a nice long phone interview with Bryantq back in Nov. and last week they flew me in to Vegas for the face-to-face interview.
The night before last, Bryantq informed me that I did indeed get the job. Yahoo! Whee I will be starting as the CRM of slickdeals on January 11th (barring any travel delays). They have informed me that they want to start me off as a Moderator while I'm still here in MI wrapping things up and prepping to move so that I can see what things are like behind the scenes.

*The Wizard is letting me see behind the curtain. nod

I have the next 2 weeks off work due to the holidays and then Jan.4th I will go back to my driving job for my last day. On Jan 5th, Bea and I will get in my car and start the 2100 mile drive to Las Vegas. Faint
I think I know what Dorthy felt like on her trip to Oz.

I am extremely excited about this opportunity and a tad...scared as hell! laugh out loud
I only have about 1015 things to do in the next 2 weeks.


Ummm since I can't even sticky my own announcement...that I had to make for myself...this feels a bit anticlimactic. Sadwalk

Ruh roh... umm no...I don't know. Should I buy some armor before my trip out to never never land?

Quote from BrgnHntr :
Wow - how exciting! What a change that will be for you, too. Good luck with everything (move, new job, etc.).
Thank you. Everything about it will be a change for me. I will not only miss my family terribly but I will miss the beauty that is Michigan.

If it weren't for the excitement for the opportunity to work for slickdeals then I wouldn't even consider moving that far way and into such a different landscape. This is a whole lifestyle change and I have such a good inner feeling about it all that it's taking away the fear and trepidation...ya know? It's kind of weird that way.

congrats Jane!! High Five that's awesome. it's a great time to move to Vegas with a job right now, lots of good housing deals available from the previous build up. my advice on the drive is to go south first nod definitely avoid any northern route you might take.

as I live in Northern NV, and travel to Vegas for work all the time (off strip) let me know if you have any living in NV questions

Jane will laugh when she gets to Vegas in January and people are wearing thermals and full face masks because it's below 50 degree laugh out loud then she'll be there in July when it's 115, and wonder what she got herself into. then she'll marvel how 103 does feel cooler than 115 laugh out loud


I don't even live in Vegas, but those are the things I went through on my many trips there laugh out loud

Thanks...I just may hit you up with some questions about the area. My sister's ex husband and his wife live out there and I haven't told them yet that i am heading out that way. I know they will welcome me and want to help however they can. I know it will take some time to feel settled in out there.

Oh pfft...When I got there a week ago Tuesday it has snowed in the mountians that morning so it was about 50 degrees...like a nice spring MI day...beautiful that way, yeah. So after the interview they decide to take me to dinner. MrSD and bryantq decide to ride with me in my "non-extra insured) rental car (which I am trying to be ultra careful with)...and they crank up the heat. laugh out loud
