So I call my bank manager today...but he got laid off :(
 

I just call this guy to ask if I expect foreign payments like I've been doing for years, to see if they are in his systems (since internet/telebanking is a day behind or so...or more) and this girl answering the phone says: "He doesn't work here anymore".

Weird, no letter, no email, no phonecall, nothing. Must be the credit crisis re-organisations.

I feel account managerless :1orglaugh
(but it always better to speak to a person in a local branche with a local phone or cell number, then these 800 numbers with call centers...........cause they sucky fucky big time)

what bank?

The one on the news today that got 10 billion and needed 27 more from the Government today.

Went to buy some hockey tickets and my boy is laid off. New guy doesn't know me from a hole in the ground. Gotta start my reputation all over again? Fuck it... Baseball is almost here. I'll wait and see if that guy is still alive.

that's the annoying part every time, you have to start over in such a relationship.
It sucks each time.

I went to the gym today after having a week off and its closed. Only been open a year and already its fucked. Shame it was a nice place with great equipment :Oh crap

Unfortunatly, bailouts are only for the big guys (fear, media & public opinion.....)

different story with my bank guy. Guy was a badass. Got promoted and moved to san fran. Now there is a new guy that I gotta start talking to. I knew my guy would move on as he was getting his masters and wasn't going to get that and just than hang in small business at the bank.

Instantly in my head, I recalled a fitting Seinfeld quote:

Jerry: "It's like that Twilight Zone episode where the guy wakes up and he's the same but everyone else is different."

Elaine/George/Kramer (I forget): "Which episode?"

Jerry: "They were all like that!"

Seriously, using "the one that got X money and is asking for more" when referring to a bank doesn't work anymore, sadly enough...jesus.

Ah, no worries. The government says there is a 70% chance that it is a profitable investment... :Oh crap
