...and we are supposed to get nailed with snow tonight. Getting nailed with snow here is 4 to 6 inches mind you. It is nothing.
I'm pretty pumped. I love my current job (Personal Trainer and Fitness "consultant" to companies) but the money has not been there and isn't coming
any time soon. We are due with a baby girl on June 28th. I need to get a new car and a new roof on my house. Oh, I'm still being sued by some
friends for my dog biting their daughter.
Coincidentally a guy who used to work for me (who I actually fired because of budgeting reasons- not my call) called me a short while ago and said,
"Hey, we have an opening in our recruiting department of an extremely successful and stable organization. Any interest? Great pay, amazing benefits
and there is a huge need for sales and marketing talent here and you would handle/manage all of the recruiting for that function."
I said yes I would be interested. So there seems to be a good chance I'm headed to corporate world. I do miss the salary, hustle, stability and
benefits. So we'll see how it shakes out. I'm stoked. We'll give it our best.

Thanks everyone. You all are great. I'm up and just shoveled the driveway. Now I gotta go put my suit on and fight the rush.
Good Times.
be safe everyone!

you got this in the bag.
Discipline - 2-9-2010 at 11:40 AM
Call it a gut feeling, but I think you'll nail this Chris.
CR83 - 2-9-2010 at 08:13 PM
It went great today. My man on the inside just sent me a text that all feedback he has heard has been positive.
The opp is not "posted" internally yet and they are not scheduled to meet anyone else. All signs are good and I'll know more hopefully by Friday.
Thanks for all the greatness in this thread peeps. Really means a lot.

Well done brother. I really hope you get this because it sounds like you would be super happy if you did.
BKT.

Just got some good news. My (hopefully) soon-to-be boss just called me. She is working on my official offer and is trying to get it squared away by
tomorrow afternoon. We talked money and we both had the same figure in mind which was quite a relief. So I verbally agreed to accept the offer if
the money is met. Not official yet but we are close.
I'm bummed my fitness venture didn't workout and my current "boss" is a good friend. I know he'll be cool with things but it is still never easy.
Mrs. R83 is very excited for this offer to come as am I. Thanks for all the good wishes everyone. You all rule
BDx13 - 2-11-2010 at 07:27 PM
this seems like it's the right thing to do.
you gave the fitness gig and self employment a fair shot, so i'm sure dude will understand.
you gotta get your business in line before CR baby 2.0 arrives.

CR83 - 2-15-2010 at 05:58 PM
It's official, just got my offer. I have verbally accepted. I start on the 22nd or on March 1st.
So psyked.
Vanilla Gorilla - 2-15-2010 at 06:02 PM

newbreedbrian - 2-15-2010 at 08:03 PM
Fucking awesome Chris!!! Congrats man!
CR83 - 2-15-2010 at 09:54 PM
Thanks everyone. My mid-day postings will certainly be no more but I'll catch up with you fuckers at night for sure.
It is so weird. The past year I have had three different employers. The first of those, I was there for 6 years. It is wild. I'm hoping to stay
for a REAL long time at this joint.
I really appreciate all the positive vibes from you all. Means a whole lot.
Discipline - 2-15-2010 at 10:02 PM
Millions of people are really jealous of you. Enjoy it!
lifeisabitch - 2-16-2010 at 12:18 AM
