In the two (2) days since I was told my job was eliminated I have sent out 8 resumes and have had 4 call backs. I have set up three (3) interviews for next week and turned down one, the money for that is not what I am looking for.
My current boss provided me with a stellar reference letter and his wife who is an attorney had one of her partners pass my resume to a big corporation. I have actually worked with that corporation, they were a client of a firm I worked for back in the 90s. They recogonize my name and the old firm and the VP wants to interview me! I am very excited about this prospect. I believe once again I am in the right place at the right time.
Thanks for coming back and listening to my saga. I do have some fun stories and family stuff I want to throw out there and will once time allows next week.
smooches peeps!!

This day sucks!
I am just full of good news these days....never anything good to post it seems.
Due to economic reasons corporate has pulled the plug on expansion in our area, hence my job has been eliminated. Yes the job that I have probably waited years to have. My last day is June 2 if I so choose, which I have. I don't like to burn bridges and there is a chance that the market could turn around over the next year or so and they will hire be back. I am at the top of my boss' list and he is pretty torn up about having to lay me off. It seems he jumped the gun hiring me because he did not want to lose me to another company. So I will have a good reference from here and a decent explanation as to my employment time frame.
I really hate to be in this position again and feeling pretty lousy about everything. So it seems that I will be returning to the legal field, sucking things up for the family benefit. I will have to attempt a serious attitude adjustment regarding my feelings on working for attorneys again. (No offense to those blogging/online buddies that are in the legal field)
Maybe I will cash in the 401K and go back to school, become a teacher, stay home with kiddos, do something different!! Money really does make the world go around!

American Idol.....small rant!!
Chris was my fav....cannot believe America chose the others over him. I loved Katherine too, however, her last two weeks have been weak. She seemed too eratic on stage and a little too dippy for my liking. Katherine is a sweet girl but I see her acting and doing broadway type things. She could do very well.
I am ok with Taylor and Elliott but just do not see them as actual idols. There is a market niche for these two, but not in the radio hits capacity such that Kelly Clarkson has had.
Chris had the packaging, the sex appeal and the voice. Such a damn shame the last of the hotties have been voted off!! Oh well Katherine is still a hottie....but you know what I mean!! *wink*

What to post??!!
Good lord it has been almost a month since my last posting. I don't feel like I have much to say. Everything is beginning to seem routine again, very busy too.
Work is going well, a little slower than I would have liked, but it is a good thing to have extra training. It is always hard to be the new person and it seems doublely so when working with mostly women. Women can be very chatty and very catty....something I have never been to good at dealing with. I am more of an upfront, underdog, standup to the big guy, kinda girl. Not too big of issues at the moment and feel like I handled myself very professional and diplomatically on this front last week. So this week is starting off fresh and with a different perspective for me and I think for several co-workers. It is all for the better and I am glad.
I am back to coaching softball this year and have made some changes in my coaching approach this year. It is still fun, exciting and a thrill when a little girl actually gets a concept and shows improvement. Hubby is helping out again and he is doing well with the girls too. Last year he never said too much but this year he is forced to as we are splitting practices into 2 groups. I really do have to figure out how to get pics up so I can show off our pretty pink shirts this year!! LOL
The kids and I are loving American Idol this season!! I am too hot for Chris....um....yeah....enough of that!!
I peek in on blogs on occassion, but may not reply. Like I said earlier, I just don't have much to say which is a rarity. Still gaining perspective and holding back on things a little. In time I think I will come out of the shell again but for the moment I still feel like I am in a whirlwind that is not slowing down.
