Well, this is actually a picture of Josh's 4th day of work b/c I never wanted to get up early and take his picture. So Josh is now in training at Regions Bank and so far he has been taking lots of tests and going through computer training. What is so funny is at the start of the new year they are changing computer systems so everything he has learned will be void and he will have to learn a whole new system. Anyway, his branch is in West Ashley which is near Downtown Charleston. It only is a 30 minute drive (in the middle of the day or on the weekend). So as you can imagine when he has to make the drive during rush hour it is a different story. His first day it took him 1 hour and 13 minutes. He found a "better route" the next day and it only took him 1 hour and 15 minutes. So the third day he found another route and he shaved off a whole 5 minutes. It takes him roughly an hour to compute to and from work each day. We will have to adjust by budgeting for for gas each month. Even as I type this Josh just called and he has been on the road for about 40 minutes and he is not even half way home b/c of the heavy rain we are getting. He does like his job and the people he works with but I know as soon as it comes available he will ask for a transfer for a closer branch. He also wants to work his way up so he probably won't be in his current position for several months.

What? No backpack for this job? What kind of first day picture is it without a backpack? (~: Love the tie. Legend Oaks Golf Course misses you, Josh!
Congratulations on your new job!!
Regions is fortunate to have you --you are missed here at T'Mark.
Too bad about the commute, but we can identify with rush-hour traffic here since Katrina. Keep us posted on your progress.
No backpack but I'll bet he has a freshly packed meal in his favorite lunch box. Great article. See you Friday.
