• Home, Sweet Home!

  February 27, 2009

  I arrived home Thursday evening, on a much delayed flight (imagine that)! We got on the plane right on time, the jet-way moved away when it was supposed to and then the  announcement said that everyone had to get off. It had something to do with the air traffic controller in Newark and ...

• Brief Update

  February 23, 2009

  I am writing this on my NEW LAPTOP! It came in this afternoon and it's a goodie ... a Dell with Vista. I also got all but one of my passwords and my business email address. I can access all of the systems I need, so I guess that I am official (and will have to do actual…

• Home and Almost Gone

  February 21, 2009

  I came home Thursday evening, after a much delayed flight. There was a little snow in the morning and it messed up the whole day. My 4:20 flight that I was early for left at 6:40, much to my dismay. It was, however great to get home and I enjoyed the weekend (quick as it…

• The Big KY

  February 16, 2009

  No, not a large tube of the lubricant, Louisville, KY. I started my long awaited job on Monday and find that although everyone is very nice, I don't have a laptop, the sign-ons/passwords I need, the cell phone they promised me, etc. I am not the only one whohas experienced this problem. Once...

  February 10, 2009

  On Monday morning I leave for Kentucky on a 7:10 AM flight. So I guess I passed the background check and drug screen test! The good news is that although I now have a 5-day work week, I can come home on Thursday evening. Unlike for the interview process, both flights are non-stop; this is…

  January 29, 2009

  I received a job offer this morning - whew! I was wondering if they were actually going to come through, although during the interview process, they told me how well I had interviewed and how they need someone with my experience. (This has been going on since September! They offered me the salary...

  January 27, 2009

  Well they have checked my references and confirmed my salary and now I am in (what I believe to be) in the final waiting stage. I am expecting an offer today or tomorrow and I am quite impatient at this point. Actually, I have been quite impatient for quite some time now (did I say…

• No News

  January 25, 2009

  I still do not have any news about the new job. This limbo state has been going on since before Thanksgiving. They dangle a carrot and then go away for a while. Just recently, I was asked about my salary requirements. I confirmed what I have said all along. Then I got an email to…

• We The People …

  January 20, 2009

  “We The People” has taken on a whole new meaning for me and for our country. There is a new optimism, which goes beyond hope and has filtered down to everyday folks. While I was watching the Inauguration and Hometown Ball, I had tears in my eyes several times. Although we are still at...
