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

I want to reply to each and every comment here but I am a bit slammed with PMs and emails and such.



It was really cool to come home to this welcoming commitee. Grouphug

I truly appreciate all of the well wishes and congrats you have given me.

I am sure there are a few who wonder whether I will be fair in here. I think that my personality is such that I can view issues unbiasedly. I may bum out a friend or two along the way but I hope that you will see that I can and will be fair.
I really want everyone to have fun here...it's why I hang out here so much.

I know that for a while I will be slow at this. I have so much to do to prep for my move...and to learn a few things while I'm still in MI about being a mod.

I welcome all suggestions...and will do my best to help anyone who asks for it and watch for those who might be afraid to ask.

My PM box is always open and even if I cannot resolve an issue to your liking...you will always have a shoulder to cry on or an ear to bitc...complain into.

Quoted to save you the trouble of looking it up for yourself.

Sadwalk Crap. Yet another reason I'm not an official member of the lounge yet.

Is the search function broken?
