Very busy with the merger!!
Sorry I have not posted in a while! I have been really really busy!!!
Training, testing, conference calls, meetings, all day Saturday practice sessions, last minute trips to Nashville for a meeting, all day visits to Lebanon, ATM problems, schedule changes, 10 to 12 hour work days and much more!!
I was involved in our last merger with Pinnacle but not near as much as I am this time! I just found out Monday that I am in charge of closing one of the offices on Friday night, auditing and moving all the money to another location. I have alot of responsibilities with this merger. I really have come to enjoy all of this, it is fun but a little nerve racking.
By the end of March things will slow down. I have met alot of great people during all the training and testing. I will be in Lebanon for the first few weeks in March. I really like the office that I will be with the first week, well I really like going to all of them.
I have spent so much time with Lisa during all of this that we are dreaming about each other. It is really funny!
Okay enough about this, I will get back to normal things come April!!

27. I am in charge of the never ending popcorn, smarties, lollipops, and coffee.
28. It is polite to ignore someone when they say hello.
