The 1st Rule of Bank Club

1. At the drive-thru teller NEVER get in line behind a minivan.

Anyone who drives a minivan is either handicapped, elderly, or a parent. In any case, when it comes to doing the bank thing they’re unprepared or just naturally slow. This is confirmed by significant anecdotal experience. Today I followed my own rule and did not get behind the minivan. I was able to see the driver from my adjacent lane once I made it to the front. She had her entire brood in tow including a dog or two. Meanwhile, she had a nice long conversation with the bank teller over the intercom about her kids and all that cute stuff.

    I forgot your more often checked email, so I apologize for leaving a note here. I’m having trouble uploading pics I took with my digital camera to my website. Can you tell me what’s up? The pics upload fine to Flickr.

    I’ll have you know that *I* drive a minivan and I always pull into a parking space prior to pulling up to the drive through to make sure that I have all documentation in order.

    If anything, being a parent forces me to be MORE efficient, not less.

    Harumph!
