ok. I asked my customer "What's COB?", what i should have typed was: "I'm working until 7pm, what's your cob?". Instead, he replies with: "Patti, "Close of Business"." oops. like how stupid did that all sound. I *know* what COB is for chri$t sake. all he had to do was tell me a time. I love COB. I LIVE for COB. how rude. well on the financial side of the world, I have to break up with my broker. It's scary. I have written the letter months ago. saved the draft and went on all my closing duties behind his back. stopped the automatic car loan withdrawl, stopped my direct deposit, cancelled the credit card auto-payments. all this, silently plotting my accounts demise. I even cheated on him, by opening a new account. I bought new checks. I got a crab put next to my name. Im SHAMELESS. I even ordered return-address stickies. All this, but I havent told my financial assistant. Im mad at him to tell you the truth. He was broker of the day when i met him. I sent Shannon and Jimmy to him. Shannon and i used to joke that he was our boyfriend, our own bank boy-toy. Everyone was playing nicely. Until I lost 50% of my money. I get no flowers or chocolates, not even a sympathy note. he did call me after 9/11 to make sure i was ok. i even saw through that. so here i am drafting YET another so-long-sucker letter, I need to break the silence. now he's a VP with a couple admins. hMMFTP. yearly fee for this stupid account: 50, ATM charges in addition to the foreign bank fee: 1.
