Hi,

This is great. It just so happens I was thinking of applying at PB-Online myself. I have a FT job that pays the bills just fine, but thought a day or two a week would let me do two things I really love. Talk about paintball, and play with cool equipment. You know if they are still looking for part-time help?

Congratulation on your new job. It is rare to find people who actually love doing their job. Who says business and pleasure cannot mix? All you have to do is be professional, the rest is easy.

I've Got Two Tickets to Paradise!

Thanks for the kinds words everybody, I'm definitely diggin' my job Why's that you ask? Well...

I won our September and October sales contest and now hold two round-trip tickets to Hawaii in my hand. Whoo-Hoo! Or should I say aloha? The girlfriend never thought she'd be this excited to hear me talk about paintball

cphillip,

I'm surprised you noticed my absence from AO as I was never a proliferate poster. During my job transition and training ramp-up, my post count did drop significantly as did my overall time spent on this site. There were other reasons too like spending too much time in that dang chatroom but mainly due to the new job. Hopefully I'll be able to spend more time here and toss out a new product review once in a while.

Tubby_Ninja,

Yes, they are looking for additional employees with solid paintball technical knowledge and sales experience - at least 5 years, though it can be less depending on your resume and individual skill level. You should come into the showroom and introduce yourself, I'll be working there this weekend.

Sincerely,

Matt

I'm afraid that the paintball industry's lack of interest in accountants has been a VERY large part of their failure to make a go of it. Somebody has be the one to tell them that numbers written in red ink tend to make the long-term scenarios bleak.

Man I am sooo jealous. I would love to work in the paintball field. Even if it was just putting the equipment together. Oh well, Congrats man I'm glad you are injoying it.

Think I can hide in one of your suit cases for the Paradise island trip?

YIPE SIGHTING??

So, I'm in Paintball Online, minding my own business, when a friendly guy in an Airgun Designs hat walks in. He makes sure I have been helped, and then went back into the warehouse. Seemed a lot like a Yipe to me. I did not want to sound like a fool ("Hey, I'm Tubby Ninja, are you Yipe?") so I did not introduce myself. But, how many people are wearing an Airgun Designs hat?

Yipe, in case you are wondering, I was the guy in the tie who bought a Black Magic Cocker.

Also, I'd love to work there on weekends. But my strength lies in dealing well with all kinds of customers, and love of the game. I am no great technician. I have a Mag, so I've never had to be!

("Hey, I'm Tubby Ninja, are you Yipe?")

No, really, I dare you to go around saying that!

Hey, My AOL screenname is StupidAce. I remember the first time I had to introduce myself that way!
