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

Quote from veritableqndry :
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..."

laugh out loud hug
I hope that she does as well. She seems to really love the snow and brisk weather here...but *finger's crossed* she will adapt...and so will I.
My family is happy for my opportunity but very sad that I will be so far away. We are very close as you know and see each other often. I will miss that terribly but I cannot pass up this very cool job.

I'm a member of the SlickDeals Community, right? Does that mean I can now have Relations with Schooby? Woot


I wonder how I can Manage that.
Umm no.

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

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

Quote from HeyLookItsMe :
does this mean you have to be nice to us?
No... Evillaugh But I will be anyway.

Quote from TigerStar :
You know, I was thinking that once she becomes a mod, I want to try to get a warning from her. Scratchhead would naked pics or calling someone an idiot be better?
Annoyed I don't know how to do all of that just yet. When I logged on to my computer I was slammed with emails and PM...laugh out loud

Oh, and I can still call you an ignorant slut when you're my boss, right. Notice that wasn't a question mark at the end of that sentence.

I am so excited to have you aboard. hug
Thanks TR...yes I remember that you encouraged me to apply for this job...I guess that means that I owe you some cookies huh? Stick Out Tongue

How come you still have not been modified?

You are my bestest bestest friend, can you remove some of my warning points? Please
laugh out loud When I read this I looked over at the upper right corner...it looks different to me now that I'm in MOD mode...and the part that says to view your warning was right next to the post count number and I was like Jawdrop for a second. Coverlaugh
