Let’s Regroup

It’s time we regroup. Here’s what’s been going on in the mortgage office:

• Last night, my Boss Chad and his wife Rachelle (our loan processor) hosted a birthday party for Hayley (our rock star mortgage banker). Just curious – when was the last time your boss threw you a birthday party? Oh, never? Mm hmm.
• During the party, we played Catch Phrase, a game in which you try to get teammates to guess a certain word. Rachelle’s turn came. “The name of my cat! The name of my cat!” she shrieked. I went blank. “Elvis?” “YOU DON’T KNOW MY CAT’S NAME!!@!!!?” Hayley started to cry (or almost, anyway), and I finally remembered  – “Jack!” Rachelle is still not speaking to us. (In all fairness, he looks like an Elvis if you ask me.)
• James has given up liquid dieting and is…wait for it…trying to live like a normal person who eats well and exercises. You can follow his progress by clicking: James’ workout adventure.
• The entire office’s email went down this week for one full day. Gobe (who is usually a really good mortgage banker) laid down under her desk and browsed gossip blogs for a solid half hour.
• After she woke up, we all played Win Lose or Draw:

• 

  Think the Big Box Bank has staff this hot? Think again.

• 

  This was my masterpiece. (Hint: It’s a movie.)

• I’ve had several bites on my house I’m trying to rent. You readers rock!
• James and Chad still frown upon me encouraging their business to dry up.
• The entire office is officially flu free.
• This month will be a record-breaking January for our branch. January is usually horrible for mortgages because everybody is all depressed about Christmas being over, but this month has been ca-razy good! The team won’t have to go on the dole after all!
• For the first time in the history of the universe, a client called our office for a loan based solely on reading the blog. He didn’t call me, but just straight up called the office. Bam! I won’t have to go on the dole either!
