So I have been preparing for this day all year long. April 15th. Tax day.
The reason this day is so important to me is because it is the last day that a person can make a prior year contribution into their IRA. Why would I care about this you say? Because I am a retirement plan guru and i'm responsible for making sure that everyone that works for my bank understands and follows the IRS rules regarding IRAs.
So I have been sending little reminder emails to all the branches letting them know that April 15th will be the last day that they can accept a contribution for tax year 2002. This morning I sent a final email notifying everyone that the deadline was here and since it was a federal regulation and not a bank policy there could be NO EXCEPTIONS!
This did not sit well with the branches. My phone rang off the hook all day with excuse after excuse and requests for extensions of the deadling. I told them all to read the email again. This was not a bank policy, we are not allowed to make exceptions.
As busy as I was today it will be nothing compared to tomorrow. Tomorrow the branches will be flooded with people who will bring in their 2002 IRA contributions and demand that we change our reporting to make it appear that they made their contribution in time. The branches will in turn call me on the phone and hand the phone off to the customer for me to speak to. Me, not being a customer service professionsl, will very dryly inform them that there is nothing that can be done and then hang up. I will keep track of all the branch people that do this and the following day I will let them have it. They will feel the fury of the monkey boy.
On a happier note: Be My Friend
Pookkake turned me on to this hip new site called Friendster.com. You should all join and be our friends. Wouldn't you love to be able to walk around and say that you are officially recognized as a friend of el guapo and Pookkake?
