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

laugh out loud I know...right? I laughed when I saw it folded there waiting for me to pick it up.


I have to admit...it is the softest friggin sweatshirt ever!!!!!!!!!


And I got the 10 year anniversary tshirt while I was there and I wore it home the next day. On the plane, some guy kept staring it is while he was standing in the aisle. He looked like he was thinking...what an awesome looking shirt...what does SD stand for? Cool

I was sorely tempted to say...go home and google slickdeals! Stick Out Tongue


Ummm and I will apologize/warn you now...I have let everyone that I work with that I am now calling slickdeals home...so we may get a few more members showing up. Dontknow

Oh I know...



It's a good kind of nervous.

It's funny how differnt the nerves work from night to day. During the day I am like...yeah, I have a ton of stuff to do and will have a huge responsibility on my hands but...no worries...it will work out.

Then at 2am...it's like Eeek...I will never got everything done in time...what if I forget to bring XYZ & PDQ>??? And what if I screw up really badly and get sent back home?

laugh out loud So I come and post here for a while to take my mind off of worrying. laugh out loud Just like I have for the last 5 years.

Schooby, how would you handle negative pressure from the community due to a legal complaint from a merchant?
