I have to send an announcement letter to the Lending Department for a Audit/Compliance Review and I do not have the heart to send it out today!!!

I'll admit that with the thought of 13 people coming to my house before I get off work today is making it VERY difficult to concentrate. I keep drifting off to wonder what I still have to do tonight, and how much fun it will be to see everyone! BUT, I have put 11 loans on WinDaudit this morning and serviced 2 ATM's already and answered 2 compliance questions from the lending dept. and ordered new TIS disclosures. I'm not slacking...just drifting. (all this and posting to BOL all morning...not bad huh?)

I'm calculating denial disparity ratios on MSAs - or rather having CRA wiz do it, which takes longer than doing it myself, frankly. So I guess you could say I am!

I'm just biding my time until noon - then I'm outta here! It's not that I don't have plenty to do, it's just hard to get motivated to do it!

314a's...

I'm working...I just don't want to!!!

I'm finishing 2 solid months of budgeting and preparing for the budget presentation to our holding company next week. This also means, I'm 2 months behind on my compliance reviews.....
And I need to start performance reviews soon.....

There's just not enough weekends in a week.......

Well as the boss I'm working today, but everyone else is home. Other than the conference call at 11AM I suspect no one is going to need an analysis or a quick Map today so I may turn out the lights and shut the computers down a tad early.

My grandson came early this AM to help Gram prepare the pies and cookies. It was starting to smell pretty good by the time I left this morning.

Based on the volume of posts a lot of you are out there today, me included.

This beats doing the dishes tomorrow night.

Finished an audit for the supervisor for the mortgage originators, completed BSA training for the remainder of the bank staff, forwarded a SAR, etc.

Elana - I'm drifting, too.

I'll probably hang around here all day -- going to a hockey game tonight ('Hawks are visiting the Sharks), and the arena's closer to work than home. Not sure exactly how much "work" is going to get done, though... Just a few things to wrap up before month-end.

Half of the entire staff is off today and half on Friday. I'm here today so I will get to shop the after Thanksgiving sales on Friday with my teen-age daughter! Yippee!!! So I'm not only doing things I normally do, but filling in the gaps for those who are gone.

As soon as I finish this Affirmative Action Plan in a few minutes, I'm outa here, and on the golf course. Have a Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

I'm here tring to get motivated to start my TIL compliance review. There is something about a day off during the week that makes work so hard. Everyone have a good Thanksgiving.

I too am here at work and trying to get motivated. It's still morning here though! It's also 18 below zero. It was hard enough to get motivated to head out into the cold.

Well, sort of.....I don't feel like it , but I am doing an audit on CIP....and I am thinking of an audit that I started and didn't finish yet on loans.....and I am thinking that I will be on vacation ALL of next week......

So it IS hard to concentrate......

I'm here today too, but only till 3 and Friday till 3. Next year, all the non-monday holidays fall on Thursday ('cept Christmas-that's Saturday) so we will have a lot of 3pm Fridays.

I'm at work too. Have a 2:00 conference call with a vendor for Do Not Call software. I sure hope we choose this vendor. I'm tired of the subject.

I'm here today, but not really getting too much done. Not only it is the day before Thanksgiving, but I'm sick too. I went to the doctor yesterday afternoon and was told I have strep throat. So, I'm sitting in my corner away from everyone and wondering how I'm going to be able to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner when I can barely swallow.

I'm so sorry you're sick. I recommend hot chocolate with butterscotch schnapps to soothe that throat. Hope you feel better.

At least I'm off Friday. Today I'm finishing up a 100+ page paper for SWGSB (Southwest Graduate School of Banking) that is due Monday, trying to finish up a draft of our FDICIA internal control report and documentation that will go out to the audit committee and executive management on Monday, and trying to get out of here by 4:00 so I can pick up a cheesecake before the place closes...

Why am I on BOL when I have so much to do?????????????????

I wonder if Cleabatsu's serves up espresso for a little kick?

Lets seeee.. I work on ACH audit, check BOL, try to decipher Uniform Commercial Code, check BOL, go to lunch, check BOL, work on ACH audit, check BOL, prepare a checklist of everything to take on our trip to Texas, check BOL, check BOL, check BOL.

Guys, its tough working the day before or after a holiday! I'm getting holiday fever (not like the one Angie has. )

My boss just left my office discussing compliance exam, come on Thursday.
