Thanks and Thanks a Lot

Thanks Mr. Von Snarky for reporting my whereabouts. I have not runaway with a tall swede. Thank you for hanging in there with me, I started a new job this week with Mega Bank, which is turning out to be a great thing for me. They even gave me an office, which I feel totally uncomfortable in, see I am a cubicle monger. I am hiding behind my desk as we speak thinking that the office police are going to come in and take their office back. See they must have made a mistake in thinking I was adult enough for an office. Does this mean I have to act like an adult? Because farts still make my laugh.

So here comes the snarky "thanks a lot". With my new job I have been going to different banking locations and closing them down. Part of that requires me to pack up their credit files. Because this is such a cumbersome task I have been going from location to location logging, packing, security seals, logging some more, taping and cursing. This one location begged me for their help, said they had tons of files, and they were just so busy, and to please save them from file boxing hell. I arrive and find that they only have 8 drawers to box ( Where did the other 10 million that they were complaining about go?)

While I am feverishly packing away files on the second floor of the bank with no idea what is going on downstairs, I didn't realize that the bank closed at 4:30pm. I go to take the elevator down at 4:45pm and realize that I can't get down the elevator into the branch to exit the bank. I called downstairs and got no answer. I frantically looked for an emergency staircase which to my amazing luck exited outside the building. I look in the window of the bank and there is no one in there. Well gee thanks a lot for locking me in the building. I probably set off the alarm when I went out the emergency exit. And when I got back to my car, I had a parking ticket.

Things are going better this week, however I am all over the place.

Wow, that stinks in four different colors. Did you ever find out if you set off any alarms? What would happen if you had? I'm into bank avoidance, mostly, so I don't know anything about these things.

Hope you're catching your breath!

Oh man, that's the pits. Are you traveling all over California or into other states too?

Hey if they were rude enough to lock you in, hopefully the alarm DID go off and somebody in Ops had to come down and turn it off!

Hi Ava,
Like Traci, just wondering if there's a meet-up set for Bossy's arrival in the Bay Area.
Thanks!

Foolery & Kathy Likes Pink,
To may knowledge I did not set any alarms off. We didn't get any notice, which brings up the question, if we are such a secure bank wouldn't we have? Oh well. I am not in security and have been very careful about not getting locked into any more banks. ;)

I have been all over the Bay Area and hoping I get to stay put for a little bit.
