Bank Personnel [BP]: "Thanks for calling *** bank. How can I help you today?"
Me: "Yes, I was wondering if you can tell me my.....my......my....ummmmm, I seemed to have lost my train of thought [nervous laughter]."
BP: "I know how that feels. Did you want to know your balance?"
Me: "Yes, ma'am. Thank you."
BP: "Can you please give me your bank account number?"
Me: "Um, I seem to have misplaced my check book [more nervous laughter]. Can you look it up if I give you my debit card number?"
BP: "Yes. Just give me a minute. Okay, go ahead with your debit card number."
Me: "My debit card number is ****."
BP: "Okay. What is your name please?"
Me: "Kayla Yow [Oh shoot, now BP can go tell all the other BPs about me and my idiocy and laugh]."
BP: "Ms. Yow, can I have the last four of your social, please?"
Me: "Yes, ma'am. It is ****."
BP: "Okay, your account balance is ***. Is that all you needed today?"
Me: "No, ma'am. I was also wondering if you could tell me about any pending deposits on my account."
BP: "That won't be a problem. Give me just a minute. {Silence} Ms. Yow, can you give me your full social?"
Me: "Yes, ma'am. It is ****."
BP: "Oh, my computer froze. It's not doing anything now."
Me: "Glad to know that I am not the only one acting like it is Monday!"
BP: [Silence]
Me: [Even more nervous laughter.] After about five minutes, the BP is finally able to pull up my pending deposits, and we say our goodbyes.
I believe today has been the craziest day for me in a while.
[I cannot wait until lunch time tomorrow, when I will be leaving for the beach. Seriously.]
