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

you should get moved by the australian army. they'll pack everything up for you including paint sticks in the garage. wtf did you move that? well its just habit. you don't bring a colonel's paint sticks and he says he wanted it you get screwed.

Yep, I know all about "attention to detail". Our last Navy move, the movers even packed the soap chips that were in the shower stalls. LMAO

Jane,

How about using a company like PODS [pods.com] to move your stuff? I've known 2 couples that went coast to coast and really enjoyed their service. You can find discount codes too.

No way! We unpacked and were like, soap chips? Huh Seriously? WTF?

And to add insult to injury, they packed our car keys that were on a key hanger by the door. We spent the next 5 hours opening boxes because we had no keys and the moving truck was coming at 6 the next morning. Roll

My advice, Jane? Leave everything but your toothbrush and the dog. Start life anew. Hell ... leave the toothbrush. I'll send you a new one. It can be your first housewarming gift. Rofl2

Yes!! we need to make a great welcome package for her! I'm sure it will be heavy on deodorant, Glade Candles, Toothpaste, razors and everything else that we get for free or almost free!

It will be a True SlickDeals Housewarming!!

I thought about that too...but then I have to carry everything myself. I might be able to get a little help on this side...but I am not going to try to move stuff into an apartment...especially if I have to carry it all up a bunch of stairs. Nono laugh out loud

Well, if they treat you to lunch or dinner, 50 less meals you'll have to worry about. nod
