New job
My first day as a financial services specialist was very dry. Spent the entire day reading and training on the computer. There's SOOOO much stuff to learn. So many procedures to follow.
Second day was horrid. I arrived at work and saw the lights on in the branch manager's and loan officer's offices. I knew the manager had a doctor's appointment so she wouldn't be there, but I assumed the loan officer was in. Her desk is obscured by the teller station so I couldn't actually see her.
I unlocked the door and proceded to try to lock it up after I was inside. There was an annoying beeping behind me, but I paid no attention to it. Then I suddenly realized that was the alarm! I ran over to the loan officer's office since she had the code, but no one was in there. I frantically tried to dial the manager but my fingers fumbled and I was freaking out.
The loan officer showed up just as I reached the manager and she disarmed the alarm. The 60 second window had already passed so the police had to be called to let them know it was a false alarm. The manager asked if the "All Clear" sign was up before I walked in. Doh! I forgot about that. There's a sign the opening person puts up to let the tellers know they can come in. Never even looked for it.
I was so embarrassed! The loan officer tried to comfort me saying it was alright and we'd laugh about it one day. But I couldn't get my mind off it for over half the day. I figured I would be there for at least a couple weeks before I made my first big mistake. Sigh...

Awwww, it's okay. At least the loan officer was okay about it. You will be laughing about it someday. We have an alarm system at work, and people were tripping it so often that we finally disconnected it from the police department. They no longer come automatically when the alarm goes off. Which leads me to wonder, what good is the alarm?
iPods rock!
Yikes! Sounds like something that would happen to me.
I hope today has been alarm free and without embarrassment.
Congrats on your new job!!!! and thanks for prayers answered. Uncle Jon said that the police dept got a lot of false alarms from the bank.
Hope today went better.

Hi
hope this goes through
wanted to give you a big HUG for a bad day!
Can you believe it, me a partner and I do not know the security password. It has happened a couple times. They call and ask for my identification, which I give "its me." Then they ask for code and I say I do not know it. They finally accept that I am one of the partners and let it go. But we're not a bank.
oh well

So first I set off the alarm, then two days later I left my passwords on the counter overnight and the manager found them. Now I just remembered that I left my computer on and all my sensitive programs up when I left. Just when I thought I was getting the hang of everything. Well, I was feeling better after all your comments.
