Thanks @bengy for the win in the draw. You are blessed to be in a job you love.

Now for an analyze of ‘My Job’.

I started working at a bank back in ‘64. Where you even born then? It was the age before computers and we did every thing manually. After two years with the bank I applied for a job at a Credit Union mainly because it was unionized and the pay better. Once I got there I realized it was a much longer day and working first as a teller, standing on my feet all day, my legs paid the price.

I took a two year night time course in accounting and transferred to the accounting department at the same Credit Union. Although working with figures was not my strong suit, I did enjoy that department for many years. The people were great but eventually someone took leadership there that was power hungry and made the job a nightmare for me and the whole department. I never could understand why one could not just do their job without all the politics.

I worked in the banking business ( at the Credit Union) for twenty-five years , in all the departments and even In management. There is nothing like the stress of middle management when you have no power.

Another interesting but dangerous job, I did there every morning for a year, was to carry hundreds of thousands of dollars, to the auto cash machines situated around the city, without any security. I requested a gun but was refused. Now that job of filling up the ATMs is done by a security service. Luckily I wasn’t robbed because I would have been the 1st suspect. The lad who took that job after I left was suspected of stealing ten thousand dollars but never charged. In another Credit Union someone taking the money to the ATM machines was robbed and he was under suspect as having set it up.

There are good times and difficult times at any work and I still keep in touch with many of my former co-workers. I am now happily retired and live peacefully many miles away in another province.
