Take it to the Bank
A little over a year ago now a good family friend made a suggestion about working for Wachovia, made a phone call and got me a telephone interview. I won the interview and got a follow-up interview for a panel interview. I got the job offer by the end of the day. Which got me thinking. Maybe I should keep looking. I did and got two subsequent offers elsewhere. In short, I took the Wachovia position, resigned from my old company, and moved home.
Since then I have been fortunate to make good friends at Wachovia and I have learned a lot about business relationships. Much more than I was getting at my old company.
Meanwhile, my old company is at the heart of “credit crunch” and a highly impacted industry is taking blows from all sides. They aren’t doing so well and I don’t feel the least bit guilty for them because I haven’t wished anything bad on them.
Likewise, my experience working at Wachovia so far has been a fantastic experience. It has been a place where I can showcase my people skills which is where my true talents are. What a difference a year can make. And you can take that to the bank. I did.

Hot Boiled Peanuts are a TREAT here in the South. Whether YOU like 'em or not, every true Southerner knows the smell of salty filled water boiling over on the stove in late Summer. The anticipation of what's to come with these salty little boiled devils is enough to kill you.

You’ll never guess what Gabby wants to name her little brother.
The other night, we were having dinner. April was over because Kenn was out of town on business. Amber and I had just returned home from our doctors visit where we found out the sex of the baby.

Can we just keep daylight-savings time?
* Think about it... An extra hour of daylight without losing an hour of sleep each year? What a concept.

I had the opportunity to ring the bell for the Salvation Army this year. In the past I have done as many of you have. Pretended that "you gave at the office" or faked a call on your cell phone to avoid the deep, soul searching stare that is followed haunting "Merry Christmas". I've thought...

Gabby discovered that the trees change clothes before winter today. I cannot tell you how much it warms my heart to see the world in her eyes. No recession. No goals. No reason to not have a popcycle. You name it and child-like optimism wins. She gets so excited about everything. I want to help her...

I know it's been a while. A long while since I have posted on Meet The McKinneys. There really has been a lot going on and I probably have several good excuses, but I won't use any of them. I'm sorry. Now that it is out of the way I feel better. Don't you? Good. Bringing you up...

This morning began like many other Saturdays. No coffee, no milk, and nothing to eat in the house. After a the hustling and bustling of a busy, character building week, the last thing you want is to wake up without coffee. For some reason I find delight in not preparing for my...

Getting stuck in the house on a Saturday or a Sunday Morning absolutely kills me. It makes Gabby particularly cranky too. A week or so ago We decide to take the whole family for a walk. It was nice to see this strange phenomenon called...OUTSIDE!

In the last few weeks, something interrupted my flow. Not sure what the heck was going on. I found myself wondering how I would continue doing my job well enough to satisfy me. I was feeling pretty empty and no gas stations in sight.
