I've just been chattering with a lovely young dummy who is employed by a crappy and very large bank.

I need them to do something for me by Thursday @ 11:59 p.m.. She said "maybe, because we do require 3 days to process your request, but we'll try". Today being Monday I thought, "gee, going by the calendar I use, Thursday seems like it's at least 3 days away from Monday".

I told her how I felt, and how I count, and she said "if you want something done on Thursday, the request has to be in by the previous Friday. We need 3 business days to process the request".

So they need 6 days, basically a week, to do one simple transaction. A minor one. In 2005.

Is there anyone out there that works at a bank and can explain this mindboggling policy? I mean you'd think with the billions in profits pouring into these institutions every year, they might be able to buy, oh I don't know, maybe a computer? Give up the carbon paper and the old ****ing typewriter already.

Does anyone out there use a bank that doesn't suck? I use two different, gigantic ones, and they are both useless.

Thank you all this rant is now over and I feel better.
