a december day in the Life of a banker

A Banker's Christmas Tree:

I would like to inform you that the tree skirt is fashioned out of bank envelopes. Please also note the suckers and the money strap chain. And the rubberband balls.


Vanna White Leigh with the tree. And wrinkled kakhis.



My boring office. I stay out of it as much as I can.



The rest of the joint. I would like to tag Kentucky Blonde in this photo. She's the, uh, blond one.


Hell on earth = demanding that hundreds of customers empty out their safe desposit boxes before this branch building closes in February...

Oye... I so DO.NOT. miss working at a bank at all! I was a teller then a Teller Supervisor for 8 years... Yuck. It really is a nasty job handling all that money everyday. I honestly believe that tellers are under paid for the amount of crap they have to take from the customers. Tellers are front line people, they can make or break your customer service reputation and therefore can potentially slowly destroy the bank's business if they wanted to. Muah Hahahaha (evil laugh)

Amber - Lovely tree. I'd say something else but I promised Tina the other day that I'd make no more boob-related posts, so... I'm still waiting for an answer on my A.T.M. question (check your old posts if you don't know what I mean).

Oh, by the way, I could use a loan. Can you work that out for me?

Shandal: What bank did you work for?

Trav: You can talk about boobs over here. Don't let sweet niblets stop you!

And I already answered your cash machine question. See my older post. Nah, here, I'll just copy and paste it:

[Trav: Yes, I love that my initials are now ATM. Actually, they are ALTM because the "Leigh" is in there, too. My business cards say Amber Tidd Murphy and several customers have noticed that my initials. One even asked, "Did you plan that?" Uh, I clearly did!]

So... no. No one has outright called me "cash machine."

And, yes, I could attempt to get you a loan. (Ha. I just typed "alone" instead of "a loan" and burst out laughing as I backspaced thinking that slip was rather freudian!)

Cool to see pictures of where you work...but isn't taking pictures INSIDE a bank some sort of security breach? LOL

Love the one of the safety deposit boxes.

Does the branch closing mean you're out of a job or do you move to another building?

PS: Your friend (or maybe not friend) Shandal over there is totally cute! And I mean that in the "appreciation of beauty" way, not in the "creepy internet lesbian stalker" way.

Closing Arguments, Trial 3. The Defense: Closing the Case of Adnan Syed v Alice LaCour and Brett Talley

  Would Hae Have Liked Pineapple on Pizza? If it Pleases the Court... Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, I want to start by thanking you for your time. It is no small task to put your lives on hold and focus in on the details and particulars and specifics of this case, and it may be a struggle to focus when you have to think about what you're missing at home. Your civil duty - and your willingness to fulfill it - does NOT go unnoticed. I mentioned "time." It's a relative, term, right? I had to wait in line at the post office for 15 minutes. I waited for the checkout gal at Wal-Mart for 20, because they didn't have enough lanes open. I don't know about you, but I try to be patient. Sometimes I fail to wait gracefully, but I really do try.  So. Look at Adnan. For over TWENTY-THREE YEARS he has been waiting... patiently. 23 years ago, I was about the same age as Adnan. I graduated high school in the spring of 1999, just like he did - or would have - had he not bee

20 Points in a Basic Story in the Botched Case Against Adnan Syed: I Must Be Insane as that's 5x More than any Other Basic Story Presentation I've Ever Seen

  Basic Story With 20 Points:  Could Adnan be Innocent? "It's not a cop-out; it's case law." ~Bob Ruff, host, Truth and Justice Pod   1 Adnan was the main suspect - Hae's family passed that along to Officer Adcock on the afternoon she disappeared. Originally, they suspected she might be with Don, even though she had to work at 6pm and had never once NOT brought her cousin home. Does anyone know how old the second cousin is? Two cousins lived with Hae. And Officer Adcock's Supplemental Report dated 1/13/99 states that Mr. Lee advises that she "did not pick up his two cousins from school.") Did they go to the same school, these cousins? Another question that could be explored is why Hae's uncle is the only immediately family member who doesn't live with Hae.  Another pain point for me - I'm confused as to why the cousins did not live with their dad, Hae's uncle... but look. Every family has different dynamics. I mean, I gues

Not The Nisha Call: Other Things to Consider in the Case of Adnan Syed

"If there is anything about my case, man - I want to know... I want to test it... There's nothing about my case that that I'm afraid of." - Adnan Syed Serial, Episode 12: What We Knew Instead of focusing on a flower and Jay's Changing Stories, Consider This: A) The policemen handling the Missing Persons Investigation did sloppy and lazy work. They back dated reports and failed to interview multiple people  thoroughly enough. B) The police did not interview the family robustly enough to understand what else might have been going on in Hae's life. They, to my knowledge, did not find a translator and instead relied on the guidance of her younger brother. C) A computer, a floppy disk containing electronic diary entries were noted and later went "missing"  D) Hae's email and AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts were never researched thoroughly, and her online activity is relatively unknown, outside of her newly updated "away message" which s
