Nope, HSBC. You know, the people who got fined $2 billion by the Senate banking oversight committee because they wer laundering money for drug cartels and terrorists. Those guys.

Oh right. I thought bank, but then I remember you had a stint with the Seattle Evils and couldn't remember the timeline.

That's mentioned in some of our mandatory AML stuff we have to do at my job.

We used to have a bunch of mandatory AML stuff. The IT department who had nothing to do with any part of on boarding customers or any of that had really strict AML training. So after this happened, we had to show that we had changed our culture. Right. Bullshit nonsensical, phrasing, and in one of those “culture changing meetings“ I ask the people who are running it if the folks who had been responsible for signing off on all of these f***ing crooks and taking blood money from kidnappers and murderers and terrorists had been fired, including being willing to sign any length of NDA and being told that they couldn’t tell me that information. So I said I into the microphone so you’re telling me they’re still here and that the rest of us have to do all of this because they were greedy and they broke the law. I thought they were gonna walk me out that day, but I hung around for another four or five years. It was fun to have groupies for those meetings because I was so offended that I didn’t f***ing care if they sacked me. They took money from druglords in Mexico. These are the people who are kidnapping folks, chopping them in a little bits and sending them to their families. Truly grotesque humans, and for a few bucks, people I supported were willing to look the other way and do their banking for them. Completely f***ing morally bankrupt. Started looking elsewhere and had some fundamental problems with the entity I worked for to say the least.

Funny but I know the date of both my current relationship first date and the one for my ex as well. I was regularly the one who would bring it up and have date night around it in better times. It's even funnier that they are only a few days apart in May...

I got married to wife number one on August 19th. Got married to wife number two on August 21st. Got married to wife number three on August 17th.

Given that I've known her for 20 years this November I'm thinking that 17 must be my lucky number. For proof, a few days ago, on January 31st, she texted me and said - "We're going to the hockey game tonight".

If they were just a NGO they would have been fine.

Nate called me after practice tonight. He was named a captain.

He told me I didn’t sound surprised. I told him how I found out from his head coach near the end of the fall semester.

He was like, “You knew all winter break and didn’t tell me?”

I was like, “Yeah, it was supposed to be a surprise when you got back.”
