[FRIAM] [off topic] Bank of america problems

[Gillian Densmore]

I think you were on the phone with me! I called them up today to see what
the problem was. They said more or less the samethings they told you. They
also added "have to collect the funds" to the list of nonsense. It's a
check from first national that's physically speaking just around the corner
of a few branch. I got reely miffed and upset. Like it took a lot of effort
to not curse, yell or breakdown. The entire list of officers and front desk
types all towed the same line that came down to they don't want to work
better. The weird thing is the money itself is better than good because
it's both from the goverment  and a bank (physically speaking) right  next
to them in a few locations. Oh for me they also added: "protecting your
creddit and ensure it has enhanced standing" . Collecting funds? RLY, if
that were true a dude could go to the other side of devargis mall and say
to the bank the check on the uh check run it by them with a secret see you
for beer handshake or something. I feel somewhat confident if first
national santa fe nm  part of the SunFlower brand of banks was hard up for
money we'd read about it in the news.
Anyway thanks Glen.
