Way to go girl!!!!

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. I also have a great feeling about this. I think you've got what it takes to do a great job!

As for your last reference. There is no good way to say "don't call." You are better off owning up to it....."I had some problems with my last employer and we both learned from it. Let me give you some other professional references."
Great advice, ES.
