Thanks for all the wishes of Good Luck. I had my interview this afternoon. All of these people are my former coworkers. One of the women met me outside the elevator and escorted me in. Another woman showed me around. When the guys saw me they all yelled "Hey Tammy" and waved. It seemed to go well. I was feeling really good, until the interviewer told me that she had some more people to interview. I thought, "What if she likes them better?" Coworker thinks that I have the job, but I don't want to get my hopes up. Coworker's boss told her that he was having lunch with one of the guys where I interviewed. She said that she told him about the interview and that he smiled a huge smile and gave her the thumbs up. Maybe he'll put in a good word for me. Coworker's boss was our former Chairman of the Board. He has a lot of pull. I'll find out for sure on Friday. I'm thinking about emailing my resume to the HR Director at the bank across the street. I have to find a job by the end of the month.

It's difficult watching everyone cleaning out the cabinets in their offices. I need to start boxing up the stuff in the filing cabinets behind my desk. The only problem is that I don't know what to do with it.

Yesterday when I got to work, I had an email from a former coworker asking if Coworker and I knew of someone that would be interested in an adm. asst. position. I immediately emailed her back and told her of Coworker's and my circumstance. I told her that I had a rough draft of my resume. She told me to send it to her. I have an interview on Monday!!! Wish me luck. Coworker is waiting about a month to look for a job, because she thinks her husband may be transferred to another state. I hope you don't think I went behind her back for this job. If we were both looking for a job, we would have sat down and discussed it. My boss told me that he would give me a good recommendation. I need to email my former boss. I know he will give me a recommendation. This is almost too good to be true. My only fear is the salary. Right now, I'm an executive administrative assistant. This job is at a company that is making a lot of money right now, so maybe they will be able to meet my present salary and benefits. I don't want to think about it or talk about it much, because I'm afraid that I may jinx myself. I asked my sister to look at my resume to see if the grammar is okay. She immediately sat down at the computer and completely redid it. I didn't think about sister having a master's degree in English, plus she does resumes for people.

I don't really have that many professional summer clothes. Our office has always been rather casual since we don't see very many people. I think I am going to wear my cream/navy nada print shirtdress, my Brooks Brothers' Wilma Flintstone pearls, my navy Fitz & Frannie silk knot earrings and my navy Ferragamo Veras. The office where I'm going is very casual, but I want them to think that I care about my appearance.

I'll keep y'all posted.

I hope everyone has a great weekend. Again, wish me luck!!

Thanks to all of you for your sweet comments. I felt better today. I decided that if I take another position in the bank, it will just be a band-aid. In a couple of months, that position will be gone. I have made a lot of progress on my resume. I am going to get my sister to read over it and make it sound wonderful. Probably, if I can find a job before the end of the month, my boss can arrange for me to be let go. That way, I will collect my severance. I really don't want to go one day without a job. I think finding a job before the end of the month may be a fantasy. I have a few places that I want to check out. My boss said that he would help me any way he could. The only problem is when I start to talk to him about it, I start crying. The only time that I've let him see me cry was at my father's funeral. My mother wants me to move back home. I don't know if I am ready.

I went to lunch with BFF MAB today. She went through something similar a few years ago. She gave me a bunch of pointers. Plus, she works in HR at a large bank and she knows the laws. I shared her pointers with my coworkers. Our conversation really helped.

I hope everyone has a good Friday.

Today was a horrible day. First thing this morning, my boss called me into his office for a talk. It turns out that he and 3 others have been let go. They will be gone at the end of the month. I was devastated. Not only that, but I worked for him and one of the others that was let go. So far, they don't know if I will be able to keep my job. My name will be put into the "pool" in case another position becomes available. He advised me to get my resume together. He has friends that are executives at other banks. I haven't done a resume in 17 years. I forgot how. I worked on it off and on all day. It needs a lot of work. BFF MAB has a friend that is the HR Director at the bank across the street. I may email my resume to her and have her keep her eyes and ears open. I heard that there is an assistant that may be let go. Maybe they will keep me in mind for that position. There are also 3 executives on our floor that do not have an assistant. Maybe I can be assigned to them. I'm not ready to look for another job. I do a lot of other things besides support my bosses. Some people think I am in charge of operations.

I'm hoping tomorrow will bring more answers.

When I was at Target on Sunday, I bought a Ped Egg. You know that thing that they advertise on TV to get rid of dry skin on your feet. I've heard that it really works. My feet must be worse than I thought. I've used it a couple of times and I really can't tell a difference. I've scraped off a lot of dead skin. (I know, GROSS!) I guess I need to keep it up. I'm determined to get my feet in good shape.

As most of you know, I'm a big Murder, She Wrote fan. I record it every night and watch it the following evening. IT'S NOT ON ANY MORE! Hallmark Channel can't do this to me. I'm going to email them and find out what happened. Not too sad.

BFF emailed me yesterday and said that one of her cats got run over and killed on a major highway near her home. She couldn't bear to get it and take it home to bury it. Her brother got it and buried it in her back yard. This morning, the cat that was supposedly killed, showed up on her door step, alive. She doesn't know who the cat is that is buried. At least she and her brother gave it a proper burial.

I hope everyone has a good Wednesday.

Muffy Martini is hosting another giveaway. This time she is giving away FIVE copies of Mating Rituals of the North American Wasp by Lauren Lipton. Again, I am not going to participate since I am 3/4 of the way through this book. You need to go to her blog to enter. This is a great book. It's easy to read and enjoyable.

Miss Janice is hosting a give away with some great Southern etiquette books. Hop over to her blog and read all about it. I'm not going to participate because I own all of those books, except What Southern Women Know by Ronda Rich, which is on my list. I have read them numerous times. If you don't win, you need to read these books. They are so enjoyable. You'll find out what makes us Southern Belles. If you are not a Southern Belle, you'll want to be one.
