New Job, Moving Far Away From Texas
 
Well yall, I will probably be AWHOL again soon. I have accepted a fantastic new job in Southern Illinois and will be moving the family there in the next month or two.

Congratulations on the new job! Keep in touch as you can. Good luck!

You can't complain about a fantastic new job! Sounds like you're all for the move so congrats!
This opens a world of new horror cons to you, which is one of the two things that really matter about this move. The other thing being that you are now closer to some of your HDC family, making a forum gathering that much more likely!

Seriously, congrats to you and keep us posted any time you are able. We'll miss you if you disappear for too long.

Congrats and good luck on the move. We will miss you at Horror.com.

Yall are making me blush. Ill probably still be reasonably regular. I just wanted to warn everyone.

Repo, Im already looking, dont worry, lol. St. Louis is just 2 hours away. Chicago 6 hours, Nashville 2 hours, plenty of opportunity.

Roiffalo 08-18-2017 04:13 PM

Sounds great! What's the new job (if it's not prying)?

Dead Bad Things 08-18-2017 04:23 PM

Southern IL. ? I thought you were movin' out here to MT.

Bloof 08-18-2017 06:04 PM

That's great news for you, Jake. ::cool::

That does sound like an oxymoron...::big grin:: I guess it's developing thee company, as opposed to helping develop other companies?

Yep! Chicago. : )

Alright guys, let me put it in a way that sounds more exciting. I get to travel the country finding companies that have excessive inventory. I buy that inventory got pennies on the dollar. And have it shipped to our distribution center. I will be attending regular trade and home shows nationwide including a week in Vegas in February for KBIS, COMPLETELY PAID FOR BY THE COMPANY. Lol!

Deal! I'm sure I'll be in the area at some point.

MichaelMyers 08-24-2017 11:47 AM

This is great news Jake. Might this surplus inventory include horror DVD's and other merchandise? If so you could buy it for pennies then give it away on horror.com!

I dunno. Half the time they end in heartbreak. </3

Sorry Ive been so distant friends. Its been a crazy couple of weeks. We are going back up on Saturday and hopefully making a purchase. I need to get the house thing settled. Its driving me crazy. Then on Tuesday I fly out to LA for 10 days to collect some product. Its not fun horror product, unfortunately. It is high end appliances, plumbing, and lighting.
