The Third Shift

I work while you're sleeping. I've somehow managed to forge a career in journalism that's led me to the Pacific Northwest. Welcome to my little padded room. If you have a question, feel free to ask. If you like your observations in a pithier form, this twit Tweets.

motherjones: Resolved: The amount of swag a bank gives out to 18-month-olds in exchange for you opening an account is inversely proportional to the quality of the service at said bank. As MoJo’s Josh Harkinson writes, “When I challenge a Wells Fargo banker to give me one good reason not to move my money over to a credit union, he really can’t.” Did we mention today is National Bank Transfer Day? Neither could the banker I spoke to when I closed my Wells Fargo account. The only thing I can quibble with the author of this article about is not knowing that he needed to use Wachovia ATMs in NYC to avoid the fees, but that’s kind of penny-ante.
