If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: guest-starring to finish the plot line you were in when your book was cancelled.

Sr. Retail Product Manager
(Woot Services, LLC, Seattle, WA)
When you saw My Fair Lady you admired how that old guy drove interest in the guttersnipe until she was a viable long-term investment.

If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: trying to convince the team leader that action figures would generate revenue that could go to upgrading the satellite computer (less a small stipend for yourself, of course).
Worst part of the job: Thursdays. Unless you like accordions. Or screeching polecats.
Make sure you bring: a pen that reads "Property of Woot.com" on the side. Oh, you don't have one of those? Well- good. Guess you're NOT the person who stole our pen. We just had to be sure. You understand, don't you?

Vendor Manager, Home
(Woot Services, LLC, Seattle, WA)
Sublimation. A concept invented (so to speak) by the philosophers. It's the way a mature adult takes their destructive desires and turns them into something positive!

That's our way of saying: we want you.
If you've got experience reviewing product, analyzing data, knowing what customers want, identifying trends and coming to conclusions that turn out to be brilliantly on-the-money… well, what's got two thumbs and a Vendor Manager position?

Associate Vendor Manager, Home.Woot
(Woot Services, LLC, Carrollton, TX)
On the walkway that leads to the Forbidden Temple you'll face off against six well-trained capoeria masters who also have swords. You'll parry, they'll thrust, you'll dodge, they'll counter. In the end, you'll be victorious. Inside the temple you'll read the symbols on the wall and laugh. "It warns of customer-facing details," you'll scribble down in your journal. "Perhaps there'll be larger project initiatives ahead, forcing me to drive process improvements for the entire team." But it won't phase you, because you'll have spent time leveraging strong project management skills with full ownership over key processes. For you'll have been an Associate Vendor Manager. And possibly you'll also have a magic whip. That last part's up to you, of course, we aren't gonna supply it. Paper clips, yes, magic whip, no.
In this job, you'll learn: how to defeat snakes. PRO TIP: close a deal with the mongoose first, and use that as leverage.

Worst part of the job: When you run into those capoeria masters at the mall, after hours. What do you say? Do you say hi? Do you just ignore each other? Awk-ward.

Fulfillment Associate
(Woot Services, LLC, Carrollton, TX)
Light a lantern! Summon a turnkey! For you just might be the bright, motivated, hardworking individual we're looking to force into the iron mask of a warehouse fulfillment associate. The ideal candidate possesses a strong work ethic, attention to detail, the ability to meet deadlines, and a commitment to customer service as it relates to product fulfillment, and is willing to swear no connection with a group of musketeers who intend a bold attempt to subvert the rule of Louis XIV and place the exiled Philippe upon the throne.

If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: the one with a big fancy hat and cool boots!

You're smart enough to recognize that the human race has been beat.
So give in! Prove to the iPhones and Androids that you ARE worthy to survive in the new handheld empire! Come join us as we build the mobile and tablet experience for Woot customer on iOS and Android.

If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: the mysterious shadowy figure, probably with an eyepatch, who coordinates the team from a secret, undisclosed location.

Senior UX Designer
(Woot Workshop, Seattle, WA)
UX! See that? It's a perfectly formed U and a perfectly shaped X. Pretty good, huh? Yeah, we're pretty proud of how well we designed that UX up there. But maybe, just maybe, you can do better. So if you think you can UX up to our level, well, give it a shot. But we've got to warn you. We've been typing "UX" for years now. We're prrrretty good at it.
That having been said, if you think you're the talented Senior UX Designer who can outshine an UX like this - UX! - then give us a jingle. You'll need to be comfortable with all manner of visual design projects, from a template-based icon to interactive web features to Heaven knows what else. Innovation and independence is valued highly, but we'll still expect you to listen to our dumb ideas and make them work. Applicants will be evaluated primarily on their online portfolios; failure to provide work samples (and your role in each) will pretty much guarantee that we won't call you. Coding or other multimedia production skills are a bonus. Also you need to be able to write "UX" without any typos. Think you can handle that?

Not counting the guy who did fifty thousand jumping jacks without taking a break. Now THAT was impressive.
Intangible benefits: it's fun to watch people doing jumping jacks in the parking lot, if that's what you mean.
Potential hazards: the heartbreak of seeing a person who's just done 49,999 jumping jacks collapse into a puddle of tears, knowing they missed the record by mere inches.
If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: a billionaire named Jack with radiation-enhanced jumping powers (who hopefully does some UX work on the side).
Worst part of the job: when the boss calls you in to ask why you misspelled "UX" for the third time. Seriously. Get yourself together.
Make sure you bring: a portfolio which demonstrates how you have an excellent eye for graphic design, including: color, layout, typography, and illustration, an in-depth understanding of web design principles and usability, and a solid grounding in the possibilities (and limitations) of current and emerging web technologies and trends. Just in case you hadn't caught on to how serious we are about that part.
- Create a world-class customer experience and beautiful visuals that support and reinforce Woot's vision, brand, and business objectives

You're one part Captain Kirk, one part Han Solo, a quarter Captain Sheridan and a bit… aw, who are we kidding? The truth is, you're going to be managing a team of developers. Developers who work at a fast pace in a dynamic environment, trying to think of and close every loophole before their stuff goes live. Of course they're going to nitpick at everything you say!
The right candidate will know how to keep this rag-tag band of (extremely talented) misfits working as a solid team. You'll be hands-on, working to build Woot's new e-commerce platform using Amazon services, and possibly have to take away their tiny helicopters if they act up. Consider this your chance to be an IRL Dungeon Master. Except you can't make the city watch appear the moment your PCs act up.
In this job, you'll learn: that, left to their own devices, developers are the most powerful agent of entropy the world has ever seen.

Potential hazards: it'll be really hard to get people to leave your beer and board game night until there's a clear winner.
If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: the well-respected leader of a different super-team from an alternate Earth now trying to fit in. Possibly you'd change your costume.
Worst part of the job: Finding a new costume. Like, do you wear a wig and fishnets? Or a strange helmet? Or something with a lot of pouches that'll only last until the next reboot?
Make sure you bring: something cool to put on your desk. The cooler it is, the more power you'll have. For example, a ten foot high Galactus statue will beat a two inch Boba Fett, every time.

If there's one thing software developers like to do, it's write subtle romantic poetry. So get ready, potential applicant! You're entering a realm that few today dare to enter! Of course, in between the sonnets and the odes, you'll probably be asked to be responsible for development and maintenance of the business systems software used for backend order fulfillment, reporting, and various tools used to run the Woot business. But c'mon, we know that's just for show, right? What a tech company wants these days is a new way to say "I love you."
In this job, you'll learn: that moon/june/spoon is frowned upon by corporate.
Intangible benefits: none, save the touch of a silken hand against your sapphire cheek upon which the tears of love have grown hard and cold. And sometimes the people in your row will snap their fingers in approval.

If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: one of the yellow narration boxes at the top of the page.
Worst part of the job: Trying to figure out which part of this job description is telling the truth. After all, software development is about solving puzzles that might seem hard to decipher. See? We know what we're doing sometimes.
Make sure you bring: a copy of Ulysses for your shelf. You don't ever have to read it, just owning it will make you look smart enough. If anyone asks how you liked it, just bluff. They probably haven't read it either.

Quality Assurance Engineer
(Woot Inc, Carrollton, TX)
If you pass a stack of dirty dishes, you can't help but rinse them and sort them by size. If your cat is on the right side of the couch (where you keep your remote, you pick up that cat and move it directly to the left. You're the sort of person who wants a world filled with quality, and you demand it from others. We want you to demand it from our team too.
If you're passionate about customer experience, able to write and execute clear and maintainable tests to ensure that every release meets quality and performance standards, comfortable with Scrum and test-driven development, into C# and Xamarin to support iOS and Android devices, and still losing your mind that we didn't close that parenthetical statement up there, you might just be an excellent fit!

If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: one of those old 1920s pulp heroes with rolled up shirt sleeves and a serious budget for travel. Which, of course, you'd inspect meticulously for mistakes.

Make sure you bring: some cool theme music. Seriously. It's gotta be really cool.

The Woot writing team, the people who made ecommerce funny, tedious, heartbreaking, clever, and/or annoying seeks a workaholic writer with experience in being hilarious for money.

If you have at least 3-5 years of getting paid to write, and can show us pieces that make us so jealous of your comedic talent we'll want to punch you in the throat- well, you're probably too good for this job.

Worst part of the job: Oh, you'll find out. You'll find out. Ahahaha! AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

Visual Designer
(Woot Workshop, Seattle, WA)
Picture a red line. Now picture a green line. Now the red line and the green line cross. If you're already thinking about how this seems incorrect and could be better optimized by blahblahblah CONGRATS because YOU are A VISUAL DESIGNER and we might just be looking for someone like you to handle everything from simple promotional graphics to dazzling site take-overs. What, haven't you ever heard about our annual Red Line Green Line March?
F.Y.I.: applicants will be evaluated primarily on their online portfolios; failure to provide work samples, and your role in each, will pretty much guarantee that we won't call you and will probably sigh as we crumple up your resume and throw it over our shoulder. Additionally, your portfolio must demonstrate that you have an excellent eye for graphic design, including color, layout, typography, and illustration. If you have coding or other multimedia production skills that's a bonus, but let's see your book first.
In this job, you'll learn: that, in the words of the immortal Dolly Parton, it takes a lot of work to look this cheap!
Intangible benefits: Sometimes you'll get to dodge Nerf darts when walking past the developers, and that'll make you feel like you're in The Matrix
Potential hazards: The developers have amazing aim. Especially with that blow gun. You'll have to be quick.
If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: the one with the best themed identity! You'd have a logo and a cave and a vehicle and all your friends would have names that synergized with yours!
Worst part of the job: Breaking it to a potential sidekick that the name they like doesn't synergize with yours. Especially if they swore an oath on the graves of their loved ones. That's never an easy discussion.
Make sure you bring: a red pen and a green pen. But only during March. The rest of the year it won't matter.

- Collaborate with other UX team as well as product management, development, and business teams to deliver high-quality, scalable, on-brand graphic solutions to build a superior customer experience.

Vendor Manager
(Woot Services, LLC, Seattle, WA)
You're passionate. Proven. Stalwart. You do astronavigation equations in your head. You've got a talking Trans Am and a sidekick played by a comedian. Your voice has been described as "honey made of lightning" and you speak more languages than there are countries. And when you take off your motorcycle helmet, people gasp in amazement at how you glow. At least, that's how they'll portray you when they make a movie about Vendor Managers in Seattle. The truth? Hey, since when have movies cared about the truth?
But if you're willing to be a passionate customer and category advocate, if you've got proven analytical capabilities, if you can handle project management while multi-tasking across tight deadlines, and you're ready to take ownership of forecasting, monitoring, understanding and reporting on your category while driving strategic projects to achieve business objectives… well, you might just have what it takes. And don't worry, Hollywood will never know about that time you walked back to your desk with a little piece of toilet paper stuck to your shoes.
In this job, you'll learn: that being an effective negotiator, leader and communicator doesn't translate well on film. What about we make that "karate champion with a laser whip" instead?
Intangible benefits: You'll be working with very important partners and vendors, having conversations. In the movie, that'll be a wrestling match with undead Aztec warriors. See how it works? It's easy!
Potential hazards: You'll have to work with the writing team and they'll keep suggesting things like "karate champion with a laser whip" and "wrestling match with undead Aztec warriors" over and over again.
If Woot were a superhero team, you'd be: off in your own book, occasionally popping up in one of the big crossover events.
Worst part of the job: casting the person who will play you in the movie. Maybe Jennifer Lawrence? Or, if your a guy, Jennifer Lawrence using a deep voice? Hey, she's really talented, she could totally pull it off.
Make sure you bring: a passion for retail, a high level of flexibility, a commitment to your work, and a sense of humor. And possibly Jennifer Lawrence's cell phone number, if you have it.

A word from Bobo Restaurant
Breathing new life into a hundred year old brownstone in the West Village, Bobo hums with the excited din of a dinner party. Bobo is a clubhouse for spirited grown-ups to enjoy soulful seasonal French food in a fantasy townhouse setting that marries European elegance and romance with New York's downtown energy. Chef Cedric Tovar's (Daniel, Peacock Alley, Town) menus offer a contemporary take on seasonal French classics that celebrate our region's best ingredients, from same-day fish and shellfish from the shores of Long Island, to heritage duck and heirloom produce from the Hudson Valley.Continued
Bobo is open for dinner nightly, happy hour, and brunch on the weekends. The bar serves seasonal cocktails and sustainably produced wines from family-owned vineyards. The restaurant was designed by Dekar and spans several floors of our elegant and funky house, offering a cohesive blend of environments, including a garden, main dining room, and rooftop terrace, for a range of occasions.

- Great food Lovely ambienceliseVDined on 8/29/2014Great meal from beginning to end. Was a recommendation from a foodie friend and went to celebrate another friend's birthday along with my lively 83 yr old mom. We sat upstairs in the garden and it was as if we were transported out of NY to a roof garden oasis. The food was very good and the wait staff knowledgeable and friendly. Owner or front of the house person sat at our table and we had an unexpectedly relaxed but in depth conversation. Will come back for drinks at the upper bar.Special Features:
- Bobo's was a great find!OpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/26/2014Every year my wife and I try to find a new and unique restaurant for us to treat the other to on our birthdays. This year I discovered Bobo's and it fit the bill perfectly. We started with wine & oysters at the bar during Happy Hour, excellent. We then moved to our table outside, past the second floor dining room. The décor and feel of the rooms was cozy and nostalgic. My wife doesn't eat meat (but she does enjoy everything else including seafood), and was pleasantly surprised by the number of offerings that meet her tastes. We tried three appetizers and I had the special hanger steak which was delicious. Our waiter recommended an excellent red and white wine for us and was a pleasure to deal with. Overall a wonderful experience.Special Features:
- Fantastic!SuzeDined on 8/26/2014The food was delicious down to the bread and butter. The maitre d, Alex, did everything to make us comfortable and happy. Have recommended to everyone I know!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Still, it's all about food.JustFolksVIPDined on 8/22/2014The service here is superb and the ambience nicely romantic. The problem is that the food is mediocre.
- beautiful restaurant!APChefVIPDined on 8/22/2014This is such a beautiful restaurant! We were sat upstairs in the 2nd floor dining room. It reminded us of the pretty, Gothic places of New Orleans. The food was really great! We had the gazpacho, tuna tartar, duo of duck and steak frites. For dessert the apple cobbler and the "mars" bar. Quality ingredients, nice presentation, and perfectly seasoned. Great neighborhood gem!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for pre JazzJazzandFoodFanDined on 8/20/2014If you're going to the Village Vanguard (around teh orner) or Smalls (next door), this is a terrific place to go for an early dinner before the show. When we went Happy Hour was from 5-7 PM, with a nice selection of wines at $ 6 per glass. The pre-theater prix fixe dinner was $ 35 for 3 courses, so it's a great deal for value.Special Features:
- great wine listOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 8/19/2014Not that large but quite a few gems. Great for wine enthusiasts.Special Features:
- great newcomerOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/16/2014Ate at Bobo for the second time. Loved it both times. Sat in the garden room which was very pleasant. Food is excellent, even for the West Village which has high standards.Special Features:
- Wonderful as usualDdubsDined on 8/15/2014Lovely ambiance, great food and superb service. Thank you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cozy west village spotSableDined on 8/12/2014I have been here before and love the ambiance as well as the food. The duck was excellent and I tried the hangar steak which was the special. It was a bit bland, but the Mars Bars dessert made up for it....heaven. Nice wine selections as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Cozy Dining AreaPrint2EatDined on 8/10/2014I have been here twice and I must say the food is incredible! 28 day aged beef cooked to perfection! I must say that the service was beyond incredible as my small party of two was taken care of by 3 staff members and the manager himself. It was the Manager that set the tone for the rest and I own my own business and I must say that good service starts at the top and trickles down and they made me feel like i was at home.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Don't go for the prix fixe brunchRobin25VIPDined on 8/10/2014They have a prix fixe brunch that includes a cocktail, entree, banana bread, fruit, juice, coffee or tea for $35. We were never offered any of the last 3 items (bill was put down with a "thank you, pay whenever you're ready" when our entrees were cleared). The banana bread consisted of 2 tiny cubes per person and the fruit was a small bunch of grapes. Deducting the prices of the 2 cocktails and the 2 entrees, the little saucer-sized dish of banana bread cubes and grapes cost $9 for the 2 of us and were not very good or interesting at that. That said, the entrees were good - I had crab cakes benedict and they made an eggs florentine for my vegetarian daughter.
- Very Disappointedjlf0811Dined on 8/8/2014We went to Bobo on August 8th with our parents to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Since this was a special occasion, we specifically stated this when making our reservation. While the restaurant was beautiful and we had a lovely table in the garden, the food was only okay and the service left something to be desired. Our waiter behaved as if he was an actor on stage and his performance was oozing of insincerity. The dinner took forever to arrive and when it finally did the portions were tiny and not great. I would definitely NOT recommend this restaurant. What a disappointment.
- Great service by candlelightUpaddieDined on 8/8/2014Higher pricing than comparable menus but considering the beautiful decor, excellent service (from Michel), and fresh food, it was worth the treat foru girflriend's birthday dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- treated like a KINGboboDined on 8/8/2014Really, I love this place! We had a Martini (only Chopin, Stoli, or Tito's - no Grey-Goose or Kettle-One) on the roof, then went dinner, seated right in front of fireplace (oh! if it was wintertime!) looking forward to it! Mark, our waiter, was EXCELLENT! We ordered 2 fresh oysters apps., 1 raw & 1 cooked. Mark suggested we take the raw first & then follow with fried. I agree, the night was young, only 6:30 and I predicted, that by 7 the place would be swamped with people! Get there early if you can! The BoBo Bouillabaisse was excellent, probably favorite, my date had the Dungess Crab pasta and the plates went empty, soaked up by bread & olive-oil balsamic on the table. Nice place. My highest recommendations! Cheers! firstname.lastname@example.com Features:

- WineLegaleaterDined on 8/2/2014I was having trouble finding a wine by the glass when the manager came over to help. He could not have been more gracious I tried at least six wines before I found one I enjoyed, he kept asking if I wished to try others even though most restaurants would not have been as accommodating and I not feeling as being annoying. The outside roof restaurant was great and much quieter than inside. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening.Special Features:
- HungryHungryHippoVIPDined on 7/27/2014Particularly enjoyed the risotto with scallops and the duck. The marz barre dessert was also fantastic.

- Good food, service and atmosphereOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/24/2014This was a great find for taking my clients too. I'm not from New York so it's always hard to know if I've made a good choice, this definitely was. The outdoor terrace is really lovely. Service from our waiter was perfect and the wine list is really good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- First time spectacular!JzMagDined on 7/4/2014Came in to NYC for an anniversary weekend and found BoBo on the internet and it looked good plus we wanted to tryout the West Village. Both did not disappoint. We were seated upstairs in an ecclectic well appointed room that was quiet even when full. Mark, our waiter was culinarily informed, attentive and personable without being overbearing. In the end, the food stole the show. It was all excellent. I had the duck and it was crispy on the outside and prepared perfectly within. My wife's dish was also very good. Great gastronomical experience. Walked the neighborhood after dinner. Very cool.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent Birthday MealmetaphoricalDined on 7/2/2014Took my sweetie here for her birthday. Fantastic, personable service and an excellent meal, with our waiter happy to make on-the-mark drink and dish recommendations (I only wished my bouillabaisse was a bit bigger!). Steak au poivre was cooked to perfection, with plentiful crisp frites. Brussels sprout and bacon appetizer is highly recommended and oysters were super-fresh.Special Features:
- Good TimesEaterDined on 6/28/2014We had a group of four and had a really lovely brunch. Cocktails were great, food was great. My only gripe is that when I made the reservation on opentable I requested an outdoor table. However, in no correspondence or during the confirmation phone call did they say that the outdoor area was not available. When we got there was the time we were told and the only table they had was in the back of the restaurant. Again, we had a lovely time and all was great, however we would have probably looked for a brunch spot were we could have been outside.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, atmosphere, serviceGabrielleDined on 6/27/2014Overall, I had a great experience at Bobo. I went there with three other people, and we first had drinks in their bar before heading upstairs to the patio for dinner. It was terrific dining outside. Their servers were attentive. I ordered the duck duo - the breast was good but rest a little dry. For dessert, we had a cheese platter, which came with bread and honey and was very nice.Special Features:
- Good Food, crammed courtyard areaSDK1Dined on 6/26/2014We ate in the back courtyard area -the tables were crammed together making private conversation impossible. Food was delicious but a little over-priced. Staff were very casual, relaxed. Ambient music was from the 60s. I was hoping for a nicer outdoor area and a bit more style, given the price of the food. (Main courses in the $30s).

- A great findOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 5/29/2014We chose this restaurant mainly for location (10th St. at 7th Ave) and didn't really know what to expect. Then we were blown away by the friendly service, delicious food (I loved the duck), excellent wine list (not too expensive), and elegant but casual atmosphere. There was enough noise to give the restaurant a vibrant hum --- but not so loud that we couldn't have a conversation. It was a great evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Armed robbery at Basildon newsagents
5:52pm Monday 3rd December 2012 in News By Emma Thomas
A NEWSAGENTS was robbed by a man who claimed he had a gun.

Despite firearms officers scouring the area they did not find the crook.
He is described as white, 5ft 3ins to 5ft 4ins tall, of medium build and aged in his mid 20s. He wore jeans and a dark short sleeved t-shirt, woolly hat, scarf and dark woollen gloves.
