Chief September 1, 2006 Share Chief Member September 1, 2006 I will be leaving the cozy confines of the Hoosier state and driving out to Vegas this weekend to start work on Tuesday. I will be flying back the next weekend to meet the movers and oversee things, then flying back to work. I'm sure everyone will miss my long posts . Don't know how long it will take to get internet service and stuff hooked up so enjoy the break from me while it lasts! But it hasn't started yet, I will prolly disconnect and headout on Saturday. And Jackie, you better not kill of Jim while I move like you did Farmer! I don't think I'll be driving fast enough to catch Moss on his trip down, so next time!

farmerisme September 1, 2006 Share farmerisme Member September 1, 2006 That was a quick transition from looking for work to getting a job to moving down. Glad to hear you are back working and getting your stuff moving forward again. Have a safe move and hope you get set up ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief September 1, 2006 Author Share Chief Member September 1, 2006 First call was a little over a week ago to my old boss in Chicago to let him know I was sending out resumes and that I wanted him as a reference. Interview was a week ago. Flew out Monday, got home last night, starting Tuesday. Like I said in a previous thread, the support from friends in the community deserves much credit. What a miracle!

MrDuke September 1, 2006 Share MrDuke Member September 1, 2006 From what I know about you it could not happen to a better person. Good things do happen to good people. Good luck again. Ditto. So when I run out of cash and can't pay for my hotel anymore, I can crash on your couch, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief September 2, 2006 Author Share Chief Member September 2, 2006 Getting ready to tear down the machine and finish packing. Driving out tonight. 1850 miles/27 odd hours. Will be back online down the road. Jackie better not kill off my character! Here's the email I sent out to everyone: Friends and family, Well, it has been an absolute whirlwind around here recently. We celebrated Lincoln's 2nd birthday August 31s and mom's 6-month the month before. Lara and Lincoln are doing well--Lara is doing well (as always) for Clinique, and Lincoln is starting to talk and loves to "fix it" with a screwdriver--doesn't matter what "it" is! It was a bitter sweet moment when he finally started calling me Jeremy and stopped calling me momma. My last client for my marketing business ended up being a real flake out situation and the 2-week project drew out for 5 months and they ended up paying me $200 for over $1,000 of art that I licensed. Needless to say I lost a lot of money and ended up donating over 100 hours. I have dozens of emails begging them to stay focused and finish the project, but it was not to be! But the bright spot is that I got hired by Colorado Tech as an adjunct professor of business management and went through orientation and training and now I am waiting for a class to be available (hopefully in October). And I decided that after the past two years, starting a marketing operation was more than I could do on my own. But marketing is my passion, so I ended up sending out some resumes and gave a call to my old boss in Chicago to ask him to be a reference. Come to find out, he's out in Las Vegas with the agency that does the Vegas "What happens here, stays here" spots. One thing lead to another and I flew out to Vegas this week and am driving out there to relocate TODAY. They recruited me pretty hard and I took a pass on an opportunity to be product launch manager for Hewlett Packard's printer division. I'll be living in a hotel for a bit, until a moving company can be scheduled and all those little details that come with moving cross country. With a little luck, Lara and Lincoln will join me somewhere down the line. Bottom-line, less than two-weeks from my first call, I am moving to Las Vegas. I will have the same cell-phone number and will know my address soon with a little luck! I start Tuesday, and hopefully will be back in the classroom in October in addition. My apologies for not getting to say goodbye in person--it just is happening so fast! Take care, and my love to you all. Best, Jeremy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
