3PM Vendor Call

Co-worker #1, speaking loudly on headset phone: Well, yeah, I can totally relate to backlog problems! I mean during that refi boom we were just wall to wall with boxes full of papers. We were up to our necks in papers! If the fire marshal would’ve come in here, I’m pretty positive that he would’ve shut us down!

Co-worker #2: Should he really be saying that to our vendors?

Co-worker #3: Well, if we ever get closed down due to our vendors calling the fire department on us, at least we’ll know who to thank for the days off.

Specialist: He thought it was “unfair” that we’d charge him a fee for cashing out his certificate before the maturity date.
