Nextel Beckons

I have obsessed about this for a bit on this blog, but I have finally secured a job a Nextel. I start 10/20/03.
It is a raise and much better benefits than I am afforded in my current job at Finali. I get to keep my old start date of 1999 and I walk in the door fully vested.
The job is in the fraud prevention department. It is a basic customer interaction position in a pretty quiet and settled department within the risk management division in Nextel. I will be in the same building that I was laid off in 15 months ago.
This is coming at an excellent time. My roommate/sister has faced a downsized summer as well and some extra cash is going to help with some bills – as well as better hours, weekends off, holidays off and a complimentary cellphone.
It feels great.
I will miss the people I work with at Finali, but not necessarily the job as an email customer service representative. That aspect of the job had become quite tedious.
Maybe, with more normal hours, I can pursue some stand up or improv comedy and get my tuckus focused on using my brain and creativity once again.

  1. Cant Live without me ,huh? Kevin Lang informed me you were returning to the fold. What happened to the other gig? Look Forward to seeing you.

  2. We’ll be sad to see ya leave man. You are the type of person we needed to keep. Oh well…the personality/brain drain continues. I hope we can seal the sieve before we lose all the good ones. Best of luck to you and thanks for some of the better discussions I’ve had at Finali. You’re a good man, Charlie Brown.
