our institution decided against it b/c we're undergoing a state exam currently...

the real reason is that we have 2 board meetings today...don't need a bunch of rugrats running around.

DQ, I think it is great that your bank allows this, our place is pretty good also.

Well, we don't have customers at my office, I am sure I wouldn't have brought him, if I was in a branch, just for fear of a robbery.

Today you are so far. When my kids were little I had them at my work.

I don't see any little kid around here today, just some adult kids right now.

I heard on the radio this morning that this is going to be the last offical bring your kid to work day. The sponsoring organization is not going to be promoting it anymore.

And pee on the carpet, and dig at the carpet, and bark at the top of his lungs...

I don't think we would do that hear, they don't mind if they stop in after school but I am sure they don't want them here all day. I don't think any of mine would make it all day without getting completely bored and start complaining...

Was that today? Aw, man. I didn't hear anything about it so my rugrat is in school. Probably enjoying recess right now-man I wish *I* was there. At previous organizations they really didn't encourage it-saw it more as a distraction than a positive program.

I didn't know it was today! My daughter loves to come in - she plays with the stamps and colored pens, she plays with the girls in the branch, and watches PBS in the kitchen with hot chocolate. (I've had her here on snowy mornings before.) I don't think she could take a whole day, though, or at least I know I couldn't! (She's only 4...)

We have something set up here at my bank. We take the kids around to different departments and have them give a 30 second or so synopsis of what each area does. The kids get a shiney new gold dollar coin, and some other marketing stuff and get to watch a bank movie.

My daughter comes to work with me on occasion, but not b/c it's a special day. It's usually b/c she has an orthodontist appt and I find it necessary to come back here.

She's 12 so she can actually help me out by fetching stuff off of the printer and she can run the fax machine.

I didn't know that was today! Kid wonder comes to work with me occassionally. She actually seems to enjoy it. We had an unscheduled take your kid to work day when Gov. Purdue closed the schools because it cost too much money to run the buses. GRRRrrr. Parents everywhere were scrambling - there was nowhere to take the kids.

I had no idea it was today. Even if I did, trust me, he would get far more enjoyment out of being at school than he ever would coming here for the day. I don't believe in torturing my child.
