move day at the bank

 it was a crazy day at the bank as it was 'move day'. this was the final day at the location i was assigned to for four and a half years. so now it is time to turn the page and start the next chapter downtown. i found a way through although it was challenging, to say the least. not too big of a deal for the first half of the day, as we got most of the checks printed and run through the inserter machine. but then midday arrived, and this meant the people from the service provider on the inserter machine were there to take it apart as part of the move. they were in the shop for about an hour, then the movers were to do the rest. one dude arrived a little too soon, saying he was picking up the printers. but i said we were going to be using them a little longer, until 3pm. then we would be able to get all of the checks out by the end of the day, as the second i-pay file drops at that time. just as important, having the other printer that is used for the overnight labels. the annoying man that wanted a check pulled out from the oshkosh file sent me instant messages again, even contacting the senior leader that was onsite for the day. we had to be honest, both of us, about needing the file ready before the movers claimed the check printer, if it was going out same day. it arrived, just in time. now i am on record about it, so hopefully this senior leader, and my boss, will be able to figure out the best way through besides me saying 'i am already going above and beyond'. my boss did call from california in the morning and asked if the move was still happening despite the snowstorm that had just arrived in minnesota. i figured it was still on as i hadn't heard 'word one' about it. if this meant some arrived a little later than expected, so be it. all of it went on as scheduled. i got some pictures of what was in the hall at the end of the day, as most was already loaded on the truck but not all. i needed to go back to use the bathroom, after going to get a bottle of dunkin donuts coffee from the walgreen. i also bought some popcorn from the vending machine on the last day. then i drank the coffee and ate the popcorn on the drive home. i sent a text to our tax specialist saying that the tax checks are already in the lockbox. after having the evening meal, with the can of michelob, i took a walk and found 25 cents. then i listened to this year's eminem CD, 'death of slim shady'.
