So this morning after calling about Cobra (yes, I can just put the account number on the memo line) and figuring out what was going on with my work in Texas login, I got dressed for my workout.
Before heading to the gym to workout though, I stopped by Chase to make a deposit. I was hoping to be in and out in 5 to 8 minutes or less. Preferably less.
Remember - I'm dressed to go workout.
So, I go in to the lobby and fill out a deposit form. I'm standing in line for less than a minute, when one of the ladies who has a cubicle desk asks me if she can help me. I tell her I'm here to make a deposit. She tells me that she can help me - so I go sit at her desk.
The manager comes over and takes my deposit for me. (Where's that bug eyed smilie when you need it?) Somehow it comes up about how I was laid off . . . and at least *15* minutes later I am finally able to get out of there!
On the one hand, it was really good personal service. But, on the other hand, all I wanted to do was make a deposit and scadoodle!
I actually had to cut my workout a little short due to how long it took.

I haven't had any responses yet on any of the Craigslist postings I responded to yesterday. I went through some more tonight, but didn't see any possibilities.

I may have another person signing up at the gym under my credit. Yay!

I make all my deposits to the atm now, unless there's no line up.
correct me if i'm wrong but do u mean u went to the gym from 11:30 am to 5pm?

True, it could have been worse.
Yes, I was at the gym from 11:30 - 5, but I wasn't working out during that time. I was working AT the gym.

I set foot in the main Seattle lobby. All I wanted to do was stick my tip box cash together with a deposit slip filled out for savings in an express transfer envelope, and skeedadle. I got hey, how are you, from the manager - come over to one of our tellers, blah blah blah. It was in conjunction with a "make a deposit and win something" contest. (I didn't win, so I don't remember any details.) Personal service, sure, but it look longer and they deposited it in checking, the wrong place. I sighed that night (15 minutes of my life wasted) and moved the money to savings online.

Well . . . because I work at the gym, I get a free membership - so *can* use it whenever I want - doesn't necessarily mean I *do* use it though.
