So, where do I start?  Well, this was my first week in my new branch.  Oh, by the way, I got my promotion!  I am the new Assistant Branch Manager at the E. Englewood office.  Monday was my first day and I HAD NO VOICE!!!  I lost my voice over the weekend when my mom was here...I blame her for visiting.  Anyway, I ran the sales meeting anyway, best I could.  I was in Business Banking for Branch Managers training Tuesday through Thursday and then I was back in the office today.  I spent most of the day with my Lead Teller and some of my other staff working out the "new" way we are going to start doing things.  Bonnie, my new manager, is very nice.  She pretty much wants me to "take over".  She wants to be able to concentrate on bringing in new Business to the branch and I run everything else which is perfectly fine with me.  She sat down with me today and told me point blank that she knows this will just be a stepping stone.  She will help me become a Branch Manager.  I thought that was pretty nice, most of my other manager's wanted to hold me back, I could only assume they don't want young people to take over their positions.  Anyway, I passed my Life, Health & Annuity License test a few weeks ago and they already have a huge pipeline for me to work.  As of Aug. 23rd, I will be able to sell Fixed Annuities and Life Insurance.  I am so excited!  There is so much going on lately, its hard for us to keep up with all of the changes.  Chris got a promotion, I got a promotion, we have both been in training a lot for different things, etc..  Well, its time to relax.  Everyone have a nice weekend!  ;)
