Do you have any experience banking? No, sir, I have no experience but I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in.

How did you get the transcript from my interview???

From Burt on Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 10:41:26 from 71.216.109.214

I saw it in a "How to Nail your Interview" video.

8-5? Don't you want to be like Dolly Parton?

I hope you're not earning meatballs for your new job.

Enjoy the late, late shift. That sucks. But you knew that already.

When do you start? I need to come in for a BIG loan!

From SlowJoe on Fri, Aug 30, 2013 at 13:19:38 from 66.69.93.8

Tracy - Well, we are living in a material world, and I am a material girl...or boy.

IJR - I start on the 9th, come on in! I hope they let me play in the vault with all the money - I could make a fort maybe.

I'd still be asleep now after that shift

So what will you be doing at the bank? Bankers don't fly airplanes...

From SlowJoe on Sat, Aug 31, 2013 at 16:15:02 from 66.69.93.8

Dan - I made up for it later!

April - it's at USAA (friend to the military obviously.) It's a rotational leadership program for former officers with MBAs. So the hope is we'll rotate around, learn what we're doing, and then go on to impactful positions. I've been trying to break into this particular program since before I separated and finally got in after a couple years of applying/begging.
