Default I'm on the list :(

Well actually I'm not sad because I found out today that pretty much all of us are on the list, all of us being the "old school" sales & marketing team. To cut a long story short (and not to want to bore you all) we're going to need to drastically re-size the company (to about 40 or so) in order to survive.

Glad the wait is finally over, the "not knowing" is a real pisser. On a lighter note this means I can explore the possability of <b>DRIVING to TT-East!!</b>

24yrs ago my Grandfather took a East-West coast tour on a Greyhound Bus. He was a very analitical chap (must be where I get it from) and he kept a complete record of every mile of the trip (where they stopped etc)

The rough plan would be to drive to TT-East on the way to New York (starting point) and then replicate the journey he took 24yrs ago and take stop at all the places he did, match up new pics with old etc.

I'll keep you posted with more details as they break. Wonder if I can call upon Forum members along the way (and kip on the sofas!?) Figure the trip (inc the TT-East bypass) will be about 8k miles and will take about 2 to 2.5wks

Default Are you on the Sls or mkting side?

I deal w/a fair amount of comapnies on the West Coast, and since I sell the ads, I deal mostly with high level mkting execs. If you want forward me your resume to me I'll be happy to keep an eye out for ya.

Glad you should then be able to come to TT-East. At least you can see some good in the bad news.

Default Thanks Larry

Yep, have to see the good.

It's going to be the chance to start something great (new job wise) and also if I can do this trip then even better. Would be awesome to be able to replicate the trip my Grandfather took.

Just have to plan and map it all out.
