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

Thanks. I think it will be a good fit for both parties.

I have a feeling that there may be a few who think I might come in and play favorites or let power go to my head...but I'm just not like that.

If I ever get stressed and mess something up, I'm quite sure it will be brought to my attention quickly. laugh out loud

Congrats to you...I saw your earlier works there and I think it's great that they hired you to help them out. High Five


Normally the nervousness of such a change in my whole life would have made me not even apply for the job...but I feel so strongly that it really is right that the excitement trumps the fear.

If Mr. SD asked you to bring whips, I'm guessing he has other duties for you Wink
