Happy Birthday Amy!

Amy is my fussy picture girl.  She would only allow me to post a birthday photo if she could pre-approve it before posting.  This one met her approval.  HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMY! 

 

More cameras, a delivery and the first accident...

Charter was out today to film a commercial.  Here is Brenda reviewing the script and locations of the scenes.

Jodi trying to walk and talk at the same time.

 

 Michelle getting wired for sound.

 

Kaye-Lani masted hers - she was the quickest with only two takes!!

 

Chris was excited to use my office for his portion.  He even got to spin in my chair.

 

Here I am getting wired for sound and trying to get my lines right.

 

Julie is becoming a pro at this.

In other news, Prime Brothers delivered our kitchen/lounge rug today.

 

And I had the first accident.  I dumped and extra large hot chocolate with caramel and whipped cream from Tim Hortons into my keyboard.  Here I am trying to save it.  They had to take pictures because they thought it was funny I would have to tell Doreen I already ruined her equipment. 

Needless to say, it died a slow and painfull death.  I did tell Doreen and luckily I am still alive!

 

Lights, camera, birthdays, dancing...

Today we had Bay Future out to shoot part of their annual meeting luncheon video.  They were interviewing our CEO Linda Doan.

 

 

Today is Ashley's birthday!

 

 

This is something I forgot to post.  This happened Wednesday night after the board meeting.  Doreen (our CFO) and Dr. Dale Sanders (Board of Directors) make it a tradition to dance in the lobbies of our branches.  This is their first official dance at Straits!

 

 

Long time no see!

Branch life is busy!  I have not had a chance to update since we opened so here goes.

Here I am getting ready to unlock the door.

Putting these flags out I thought I was going to get lifted off the ground like a kite.

We have still been working out some finishing touches and kinks.

Here is Ken installing the door closures.

I got caught hanging the art.

Putting up the chair rail.

Our printer was soooo tall on the data island Doreen needed a ladder to set it up.

Testing the fax line.

Setting up the cash and coin dispenser for the drive thru.

I got in a lot of trouble for this photo.  He really likes the pink blow dryer :)

Which key is it?

Monitor Township securing the Knox box.

The work trailer was towed away.

Finishing the roof.

Master of all cabinets a.k.a. Mike testing the shred cabinet.

Installing the locks on the teller drawers.

 

 This install required special eyewear!

This was a sad moment for us.  Mike was leaving for the last time.  His work was complete :(

Before he left he did finish the kitchen.

Getting the furniture for the kitchen delivered.

I had to test it out.

 

Ashley was so excited to put together the table and chairs.

But, later she delegated....

 

 Water and Woods Pack 3155 raised our flag.

We have received congratulatory gifts!
A lighted fountain.

Yummy cupcakes.

A homemade cake.

WNEM TV5 was onsite shooting footage for a new commercial.

 

I took this last night when I was leaving.  Looks pretty cool if you ask me!
