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

laugh out loud Yes...so I'm a tad biased toward MI...I have lived here for all of my life so far.


I didn't get a fair viewing of Nevada yet. All I saw when flying in was desert...the mountains were alright looking but without trees it looked kind of harsh to me.

I've been told there are some really nice places there...even for camping. Once I settle in I will be checking around to see how far away I have to go to find trees and things. laugh out loud

I love anywhere with a mountain, so I'm REALLY biased.

The last time I saw snow, I can barely remember any details so it's pretty much like I never have.

I like wearing shorts about 300 days a year though Stick Out Tongue
