My new job…

Last Friday was day 10 in my new job as a Fulltime Teller! I started September 25th!
Right now I feel a little bit more comfortable about everything.
Things are going to make sense to me!!!! Almost everything is new for me because I never worked at a bank before. My previous job in the casino was way different!!!!
We still have 2 weeks training to go but that is a good thing for all of us! It feels so good because everybody is so nice and everybody cares about the others.

Our new little bank will open at October 23rd and all the employees are brand new in this business, even our Manager. That will be fun!!!! And when the first customer walks in and nobody remembers what to do!!! LOL

Monday, October 9th is my first holiday and I have a day off (it is Columbus Day). I already like my new working hours a lot more!!!

Banker Dress code

After I bought some nice business clothes for my new job I found out, the dress code at my bank is way easier than I thought. We can wear Capri’s, nice Flip-Flops (not the cheap ones!), Denim-Skirts and on every Friday, I can wear my favorite pants – Jeans!!!! Let’s go shopping!!!!

My birthday




My birthday was Saturday, September 23, and I had the whole week off because I turned in all my vacation days I had left from the casino.
And of course, we spent the weekend at the lake!
In the morning we worked a little bit at the guesthouse and in the early afternoon we had a sooooo yummy cake with my favorite icing, … whipped icing!!! And I got some presents from my sweethearts!!!! Guess what I got???? An Ipod nano. I love it!!! And next time when I go to the tracks for a run, I will take it with me. That’s so much more fun to run with my favorite music!
For supper, we went to Dieter Brother’s for a goooood Burger, some Curly Fries and Salad!!!!
I had a great day!!!
