I was trying to come up with something witty to say here as an intro, but came up blank.  How are you doing these days, internet?  I never see you anymore except after work and on the weekends.  My cubicle is situated where my double screens are really visible, so about the only thing I can do besides, you know, the stuff they're paying me for is keep my personal email down to a manageable level.  But the work is pretty interesting.  On Monday, I made the two-hour drive down to our other office (and the three-hour drive back) for training, and learned more than I could ever have imagined about commercial business loans.  I now know about SBA loans, conventional loans, securitizations, and allonges.  At least a little.  And even though it sounds kind of boring, it really isn't.

My job is sort of all-encompassing.  I find things, draft letters and emails for attorney engagement, appraiser engagement, BPOs (don't ask me what that stands for; I asked the first day and promptly forgot in the midst of all the other jargon), and site visits.  The stuff my office does is for "special servicing" loans, which essentially means loans that are in default. 

So today was pretty good, I even had time for some crosswords and a few games of solitaire.  But I realised that I didn't bring enough to eat for lunch, so, in desperation I turned to the Keurig coffee machine and tried to make the stuff as sweet and flavoured as possible--it didn't really work.  Oh, well. 

And, and, and, I get paid this Friday!  Which is good, because I have to pay for gas for my car every few days now, and it's pretty damn expensive.
