Originally Posted By piperlynne Hi to everyone above!! I miss you guys! Yes, a Seattle drinking meet is definitely in order. I've heard great things about San Antonio. But I just moved back to Seattle after being in Phoenix and Kansas. My family is here and I really missed it. So I think the NW is home. The job hunt seems to be going really well. I've got interviews lined up for a company in Bellevue, one internal with the bank I work at in HR, one at Amazon, a helpdesk manager in Portland (headhunter called me)and a major health insurance company in IT. It's a little overwhelming. But encouraging. Another good thing, I had to go buy a new suit because I've gone down 2 sizes. Yay Weight Watchers!

Originally Posted By Labuda "Another good thing, I had to go buy a new suit because I've gone down 2 sizes. Yay Weight Watchers!" Good for you, PiperLyne! I just re-joined last week myself - looking forward to the success that I know comes when you stick to the plan & eat healthy.

All I can say on that front is this... the older I get, the more true it seems that everything happens for a reason. My guess is your job was getting a little stale, and God (or whomever you'd insert in here) decided to give you a little nudge towards challenging yourself again. I'm so glad it looks like the hunt is going well. And CONGRATS on the weightloss. I need to do that so badly. My hubby's down 70 lbs since his diabetes diagnosis in October, and I seem to be picking up some of his extras!

Originally Posted By piperlynne well, the job offer didn't pull through...they hired internally, but did ask if I wanted to take the same position in Orange County. I considered it, but I they wouldn't compensate enough for me to move there. But oh. . the thought of DL weekends was almost too much to turn down. I still have a possibility at Amazon and am back to applying. . . anyone know of any client service manager jobs or business analyst jobs in the greater Seattle area? Anyway. . thought I'd give the update.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling Ohhhh! Tough call. I don't know that I could've resisted being so close to DL. LOL. Sorry things didn't work out with this offer. I had a real tough job hunt once and I am thinking of you and believing that this just means the *right* one is still out there. Thanks for the update. Have you applied to work at Sharpie yet?
