Well I guess I will start with monday. News comes down we(wachovia) has been sold to Citibank. So like a good employee I get behind the company and say everything I am told to say. Honestly I thought this was a great merger and I was excited to work for such a large company. Tuesday the rescue/bailout plan is not passed by the senate and the dow crashes 777 points. That did not directly effect me so I was not that bothered. Wednesday I was supposed to take Wyatt for his 1 year check up only to find out his appointment was actually scheduled for thursday. Thursday uneventful. Friday the preverbial(check the spelling on that) poop hit the fan. I woke up to a text message from a colleague who informed me that we(wachovia) had been sold to Wells Fargo. Thats right the same Wachovia that on Monday was sold to Citibank. And so it began the longest most nerve racking day I have had at this company in the two years I have been there. We had about a 30 minute conference call right at 8am and another 1 hour call at 10am. During the second conference call we learned that Citibank had filed a greviance against Wachovia and Wells Fargo demanding that they terminate any talks they were having as Citi had an exclusivity agreement with Wachovia and that Wachovia was in breach of that agreement by doing the deal with wells fargo. That still has not been figured out and probably wont be for a little while. Well I spent the rest of the day contemplating my future and trying to figure out if I will have a job after the merger. Unfortunately that question cannot be answered at this point but I know the Lord will provide and make a way where there seems to be no way.
Have a great weekend everyone, I plan to.
