Today I talked to The Lady with the Most Unfortunate Name*, who will hopefully be my new employer.  We talked about money, which usually precedes an offer.  I should know something by the end of the week. 
Unfortunately, I learned that by hiring me this company will be letting someone else go.  I really wish that wasn't the case, but they are looking for someone with my set of securities licenses and their current assistant doesn't have them.  I hate for anyone to lose a job, however I enjoy being able to pay my mortgage.  I'm guessing that Clay Aiken isn't feeling bad about me right now.
I got it touch with R today--did I tell you that she left BCFG right before Christmas? I am waiting to hear the real story from her to see if it was her idea to leave or if she was forced out like me. 
I've been thinking a lot about having a new job.  I will hopefully have a much more comfortable office chair.  That old one was horrid and not having to sit in it goes in the "pros" column of getting fired.  Also, I will no longer have an inferiority complex about my clothes, when compared to K's sequined jumpsuits and tank tops in the winter.  Although I thought her clothes were totally inappropriate, she always looked so much cooler than me.  I may even get to wear jeans to work again.
Mostly I've been thinking about having a job where I matter.  That was the worst part about BCFG--I felt so insignificant and that I wasn't contributing anything.  I've had a lot of imaginary conversations with Mr. X lately where I tell him how I felt for the past 10 months.  I'm sure I'll never say those things out loud, but it's fun to think about.
I really hope that this new position works out.  I plan to set my desk at an angle some how, so I will still be The Girl Who Works in a Triangle.
*We might have to come up with something shorter than that.
