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

Treat her to lunch or dinner? Oh hell no! We expect her to whip out her business c.c. and lavish us all with crab legs and tee shirts. woot

And I'm also dreaming of being a first tourist on the space station. Stick Out Tongue

This sounds like a wonderful opportunity for you (and Bea). And you never have to shovel snow again! I'm really happy for you.
not really enough to shovel, but it does snow in Las Vegas....

I just happened to lurk in here tonight and saw you announcement and just wanted to say Congratulations and Welcome to Las Vegas! woot

I know you'll probably be getting lots of advice from your co-workers, but if you need another pov from a vegas resident, just shoot a pm anytime.

Oh, and if you need the 411 on local bars just wave

After a few people let me know of their concerns about driving out there in the winter...I regoogle mapped it out and the lower route takes me right through the city my mom lives in. Whee So I can go visit her for a day on my way through. I had planned on driving out to see her, with my brother and my dog...in Feb. But that has canceled now and it's great that I'll see her after all.

I know that MO gets ice storms too...but maybe it will be a bit safer driving that way.

I'm not a bar person since I don't tolerate smoke well at all...also part of the reason that I'm not a casino person. But once I get set up, my house here sells and I find a real home out there I just may do a cook out party. Stick Out Tongue

I'm sorry, unless you are selling items for under $5 at this alleged 'yard sale', I am going to have to MA you.
