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

Ok, no more talk about being nervous...now I'm just going to focus on getting all of this stuff at my house organized into piles of...take, toss, give away.

I could use my To-Do list for wallpaper...and then I get to drive to Oz with my friend, Bea.

Um, Schoobs, all those things I said about you..... Hide


I think this is the most awesome thing, for you and for SD. You deserve a fresh start and hopefully this will work wonders for your health. I just hope you can sell your house.

Now that you will be a big internet exec, does this mean you will have $ for shipping cookies? Girly

And the best thing of all...... you are out of that damn union Harhar

Oh wait, I see you said CRM. Now I gotta figure out what that is.




Well, that was easy--thanks serra


Wow, reading that job description I would swear they wrote it just for you. You will be perfect for this job and I can't think of anyone who deserves it more.

Wow. Congrats Jane. I hope Bea likes Vegas! What does your family think about this move? I'm not sure how I'd explain the deal to mine... "um, yeah, there's this website I spend a LOT of time on? and they hired me? to deal with customers... yes, that's right, a website... on the internet... no, it's not porn... I'm positive..."

So, how long before you try to unionize the workforce at SD?

And how well do you think that is going to go over?
