Fun with Bank Officers

My bank officer is 8 months pregnant and constantly receiving and sending text messages on her mobile phone. She doesn't look at me, she looks through me and speaks at me. I feel like just another faceless nameless bank customer, which I probably am, to someone in her condition.

What bugs me is that her bank manager worked so hard to get me interested in considering the loan in the first place and in coming back the next day after my first appointment for another visit. I had visited that bank the previous day for a completely different transaction, and ended up staying another hour whilst her extremely competent bank manager helped me with a little bit of ad hoc financial management. I actually understand now the rationale of taking a bank loan even when one has extra cash or savings. Amazing!!

Oh well. I guess that's why one is a bank manager and the other one is a mortgage executive.

Plus, I believe that the more pregnant a woman is, the more alert and eager to do her job she should appear. After all, if you're not going on maternity leave, then your mind should be fully in sync with what you are doing. There is at the end of the day nothing to stop an employer from sacking a woman before she gives birth.
