The Good, Bad, and the Ugly!!

Today is my last day at America First and I thought that I would do a little reflection on my time here..

I'll start with the Bad/Ugly:

* Upset members! I'm sure all of us have some great stories!! But when I first started at the branch, I had a girl come in that was so upset with how our receipts printed that she threw it back in my face and just walked off! (Needless to say...she no longer comes to the branch!)

*Spitting, smelling, too-good for anyone members: Over the past two plus years that I have worked in a branch, I have come in contact with a lot of members like this! I have had someone spit on me when they were talking, those that put their arms up on the counter and smell something FIERCE, and those that just want to make everyone feel like they are the dumbest person in the world! I will definitely not miss those members!

*"Please cash my check" (when they really mean to deposit) and all of the times when we have had to guess what the member wanted to do!!

*Hearing a Taylor Swift song 10 times a day! I like her music but they do get old!

*Another thing that get's old, "You giving out any samples today?" Classic!

I'm sure I could think of many more great stories but I thought I would end on a good note!!

Here is the good: (They were great!!) :)

*The good ol' days in the drive thru: Watching a man jump out of his pimped out gold car and run from the cops to later be handcuffed, without a shirt, and escorted by police back to his car!! (It was like an episode of COPS!! It was great.) There was the "cowgirl lady" jumping out of her car and dancing with her music blasting!! Our very VERY interesting conversations and doing the Beyonce booty-dance (Jess and Kort!! haha) without anybody hearing or seeing what we were doing! Great times!!!

*The wall of random sayings: "Well the guy's wife, is a girl", "Is there anything I can help you with tomorrow", "I'm going to go wipe", and "Oh you work and Winegar's, (mbr) uh No..it's Wingers!" They always would make my day!

*Friday nights after a REALLY LONG day and we are all delirious that we just start laughing at everything!!

*And last but not least ALL OF THE FRIENDS I HAVE MADE!! We have had great times and I will miss all of you!! Thanks for all being such awesome people to work with!!

Priceless Linds!!!! That was hilarious. You did forget to mention when members pop out of nowhere and scare you half to death. I will definitely keep you updated on the wall of funny phrases. There are bound to be several more with Blake and Skyler around. We will miss you so much! You are irreplaceable. Love you :)
P.S. I totally forgot about the cowboy lady. She was SO funny. Don't forget you won't miss the new quarter, dollar, and penny days. REally we could go on forever.

That was AWESOME!! I remember when the guy with the pimped out car got arrested. I was fortunate enough to be working the drive thru that day. So fun! I have missed all of you down at Harrison. Good luck with your new job though. You'll be awesome! If you're ever in Cache Valley some say hi :)
