New Joby - Job ... FINALLY !

Yeaaa, well I got the job at Regions Bank. I started Yesterday, but had such a loong day that I was to tired to post anything. The job is about a 25 min -ish drive from where I live in the morning, but the drive back is like 1.5 hours due to the rush hour traffic. We need to move. So, I'm just going to stay at work in the eve's and work OT then deal with THAT nonsense. The job doesn't seem THAT difficult, but there are many elements involved with which I need to keep on top of.

Below is the job discription :
