[Dee*Jay]

Ok, so I'm a few days late, but here I am! First of all, THANK YOU SO MUCH Skippy, Karl, Lor, Ellen, Tacori, Michelle, Kimi, D&T, Dancing Fire, Lisa, Ckrickett, Mrs. S., Diamond Dana, MC, Kristy Darling, Luckyeshe, Marcy, MissGotRocks, Gwendolyn, Loriken, and Chargergrrl!!!

Sorry for being MIA these past few weeks! I went up to a friend's cottage in Michigan with no internet access at the end of July and then got preoccupied with other stuff. My latest and greatest project is that I decided that being a real estate agent is probably not the right answer for me in terms of intellectual stimulation (not to mention also not the best use of my master's degree in finance) so I decided a few weeks ago to explore the financial job market again. I'm headed to Michigan tomorrow for a final interview to be the chief compliance officer for a financial firm (which is what I used to do) and I'm also talking to a major bank and another private equity firm here in town about a two other opportunities, so I may be employed very shortly. Ack!!! But aside from that I'm just chugging along with the fur monsters and enjoying the quasi summer we're having. (Fellow Chicagoans, can someone please tell me what the he!! is up with the weather this year???)

What's new with everyone else? What have I missed?!?

 

[Harriet]

Happy Birthday! Was wondering where you''d gone.

 

[Phoenix]

Happy belated birthday, DeeJay!

By this, do you mean the insanely nice (NORMAL) weather like we''ve been having south of you, that in no way, shape or form resembles a typical summer in the midwest near the river? If so, I have no idea, but if this is what global warming causes, I''m tempted to take it.

I will keep my fingies crossed on your job prospects! Is there one you want more than the others? And will you still sell real estate on the side?

 

[KimberlyH]

Wow, Dee, what a change in direction. I hope you''re excited about going back to the world of finance. It would certainly be interesting during these crazy times.

Does the idea of living in Michigan excite you?

 

[Gypsy]

Happy birthday honey.

 

[Dee*Jay]

Thank you Harriet and Phoenixi! I've missed you both!!

El, I agree that it's been *pleasant* but don't you feel even a little gypped out of summer? I had quite a tan going in June and it's so long gone I can't even remember what it looked like.

Gypsy, insn't your birthday right around now too or am I just completely senile at 39?! (God, it hurts me to even type that number!

)

Kimi, the idea of going back to finance does excite me, but see below...

OK, so here I am in Michigan spending the night in this tiny town before my final interview tomorrow and all I can say is, Toto, we ain't in Kansas any more!!! Wow. Unless NOTHING else comes through I can't imagine I will take this job. Not the that position isn't a good one but right now I live literally seven blocks from the Sears Tower and this is just a leeeeetle too far out here! The good news is I was called by another internal recruiter from the major bank about a different position too so I'll be interviewing for both of those later this week once I get back to civilization.
