I finally got a phone call for one of the jobs I applied for. I have to drive to Tulsa today to take "preliminary tests".  I asked what they're testing for.  Excel was one of the items mentioned.  I'm probably screwed unless its a really REALLY basic test but I'll go anyway and have faith that as long as I am trying that God won't let me down.  If I completely bomb the test and don't get called back for an interview, I guess there's a reason for it.  I spent most of the afternoon yesterday trying to learn as much as I could online.  I hope its enough to get me through. I called both of my kids yesterday.  While I love talking to them, all I do is bawl while I'm on the phone with them. The goal of getting back home and to them is all that is holding me up right now.
