Good luck Mara, I hope you have a great first day...

 

[TravelingGal]

Good luck Mara! I''ve been catching up on threads and read you are back to corp marketing! Since your roots are there, I have no doubt you will knock em dead!

BTW, I have a potential trip to SJ on Nov 8, so if you are still up for cocktail hour, lemme know.

Happy First Day! I''m sure you''ll do great.

[Dee*Jay]

Good luck Mara! Let us know how your first day goes! (Do they have any type of internet monitoring? If not, you better still log on in the day and talk to us!)

 

[fire&ice]

You left your old job?

But, if you are starting new - GOOD LUCK!

 

[Mara]

aww you guys are too sweet! thanks for the well-wishes..today is my first day. for those who didn''t know, i am returning to my roots in corporate marketing, specifically online marketing. i did a fun 2 year stint in marketing promotions but i actually miss corporate. insane i know since most people try to escape!

i''m at home for lunch with portia right now and checking up on PS! i am still setting up my computer and all that at work. the job is really cool so far and i adore my Director...i know we are going to get along famously as she is cool and hip and just as in love with her dog as i am and we are already making plans to bring them in together..hahhaa. the highlight of the day so far has been the brand new cherry blossom katana sprint cell phone she got me for my work cell. hahah I LOVE IT!!!! when the IT guy gave it to me he said ''it''s christmas!''. haha. and he said he had a pink phone too.

thanks again for the well-wishes!!

btw TG i would LOVE to see you on nov 8...i am actually going to be out of town at a conference for work from 6-8th, so are you going to be there on the 9th at all or anything? i think i get back on the 8th at night so not sure if we can work something out but i''d love it if we could!!

 

[TravelingGal]

Hm, right now I''d leave on the 9th daytime, and I do have a function on the 8th, but lemme see what I can work out. May have to be another time...

Glad to hear all is well with you and your first day!

 

[bling*diva*]

~~Mara that''s great!!! It sounds like you are really enjoying your new job (and pink cell!!

)!!! I hope that everything continues to go well for you!!!!!

 

[Julian]

Congratulations, Mara!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know everyone will just love working with you!

 

[IrishAngel7982]

Congrats on starting your new job!

 

[Kaleigh]

Congrats on your new job!! That cell phone sounds really cool. Glad you like your Director!!

 

[february2003bride]

Congratulations Mara!!

 

[lizz]

Mara, that''s wonderful, but does this mean we won''t be hearing from you as much?! I hope the new job doesn''t cut into your PS''ing that much. We need you here!

 

[Mara]

LOL Lizz...I probably won''t be on PS *as much* as when I was home 1/2 time, but I do have access from work and all that...hehee.

I might just read mostly during the day because composing thoughts can take some time! But don''t quote me, somehow I always manage to find time for PS.

Thanks for the well-wishes everyone...today was a great first day actually, except for the blister I got on my left pinkie toe from a pair of heels I haven''t worn in a while. hehee. Tomorrow I''ll wear my ballet flats!

 

[hlmr]

Glad to hear you had a good first day Mara! Best wishes for the exciting road ahead!

 

[Mara]

oh and TG i forgot to mention...if you are leaving on the 9th, what about an early morning breakfast then? i'm game! let me know if that works and if so where you are staying (downtown?) and we can meet up...*for you* i'll get up early. hehee.

thanks heather! btw i have been meaning to tell you, that avatar of brownie is the ABSOLUTE CUTEST EVER.

Maybe you should put a bandaid on that?

 

[hlmr]

Heehee thanks! Poor guy doesn''t realize the camera is harmless, and he looks at me with a bit of doubtful fear in his eyes whenever I aim it in his direction!

 

[sunkist]

Congratulations, Mara! How exciting for you to start a new job. Have fun!

Oh trust me girl...I am the farthest thing from a morning person, but I figure for ONE DAY I can do it.

Just let me know!

Congrats! Hope you love it today as well as yesterday.

 

[ChargerGrrl]

Hope you had a great first day.

Kudos to you for making the move back to corporate marketing. I''m also trying to do that (it''s my first "love") as I''m getting a bit tired of sales!
