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

But were the contests a part of the interview process or not? If so that must have been some real pressure to deal with.
No they weren't...they weren't presented as such. but having known that I had applied for the job I wanted them to run smoothly...I would have wanted them to even if I hadn't applied for the job though. Dontknow

They said that it was kind of a test...not sure how much it swayed any feelings on my real interviews though...does it matter?

I am a bit curious as to the interest in connecting them.

Not sure for whom. She's old and he's Asian. Really a lose-lose situation for all parties involved.

I'm going to let this thread drop off the page...I don't want to make anyone feel like I'm ignoring their posts but I'm going on too much about this in here and probably annoying people.

My energy/excitement/stress levels are still running high and will be for a couple of months I'm sure.



I will apologize to anyone who feels like I'm being self centered/bragging or whatever.

It's a bit weird to have such huge changes going on in my life and usually being able to come here for all of my friends and support...but I don't want to wear it out anymore than I already have. My PM box is always open.... heart all of you.
