[Kickass Conservative]

I was actually a Regional Logistics Manager for B of A. (The Bank FReepers love to hate) I was the guy responsible for anything that needed to be moved within the Corporation. Anything from Airplanes to Armored Trucks moving Cash, Checks, Documentation and Paperwork.

Every time they wanted to get me out of Administration and into the Branch Banking system, I politely declined. LOL

I was pretty much a Banker's little helper. I gave them 32 years and took early Retirement before the job put me in an early grave. Two years later, I get diagnosed with CLL and the rest is history.

Sorry about your CLL. Hope it i responsive to treatment. You really don't sound like you were one of the bad guys. You just hung around some of them. Life is short isn't it? So much consternation when what most of us want peace of mind.

Let me ask you. If I simplify the past decade in my mind it seems the whole of the financial collapse developed as the 'too-big-to-fail' banks engaged in the gambling cover with the derivitives debaucle came to life as the AIG derivitives were called upon to actualize from notional values as counterparties made claims on the derivitive agreements. AIG could not perform on their agreements and the dominoes fell, only stopping with the injection of 600 billion to Goldman, AIG, and heaven knows who else.

Anyway, I hope the CLL is in remission or better cured. Good luck to you.
