Skyler and Samuel are watching the movie, "Half-Baked" for probably the 15th time and I'm trying to catch up on blog visits. Shirl is back from vacation.

I faxed my resume to JCrew, a company I used to work for today. In Western North Carolina, there's not a whole lot of job opportunities. I was going to school in the day and working at JCrew at night. You tell them when you're available and they work with you. JCrew was a weird stop on the job carnivale of my life, but they loved my freaky self. And after climbing up the ladder a little, I no longer had to deal with customers, just the other folks who worked within the hub of the company. They have a Call Center and Distribution Center here in Asheville.

I always figured I could maybe go back to work for them, even though I left to take a better paying job and a more prestigious position, I still wish I'd never left. It's a young company and I worked in a variety of positions: Supervisor, Trainer, Ran Work Flow(--Directing calls to associates and doing the scheduling, vacation and benefit times). I later felt they were pushing us older folks out when they started downsizing. Many middle managers were cut and I left before my job got cut and also a good job opportunity arose. Of course, I gave them the 2 week notice and trained a replacement.

Didn't mean to turn this into another resume, but let me go, won't you? You know how hard it is for me to talk about myself. We'll see what happens. I hope to hear from them in the next few weeks. If it's meant to be.....Thanks for listening.
