Okay kids. My final interview is tomorrow afternoon. I hope the panel has a nice satisfying lunch, no one gets their orders wrong and no one gets the turkey sandwich. I need them full, happy and alert when I walk in. I have gotten lots of encouragement from co-workers, colleagues and friends. But I'm still not treating it like a slam dunk.

I also have a full morning planned so I won't be sitting around and psyching myself out. I don't know when they will have the final selection done but at least all the parts I have any influence on will be over.

GOOD LUCK!!! I'm thinking of you! You're so clever - it took me a second, I was like, why no turkey sandwich? Does the sandwich place make bad turkey sandwiches? Then, I re-read and saw you wanted them full, happy and ALERT (darn tryptophan!) I hope you and Jeff have a great trip!
Let us know how it goes! You better post before you leave, girl. If possible (no pressure).
Update, update!!!
