(or at least it will once it goes into effect!) so, you're asking, what happens to the other 3 people? yeah, you guessed it. i get them. well, 2 of them at least. there is still one other "processor" in the office, but she does administrative things for the boss too, so she has 2 loan officers, soon to have 3. i meanwhile, will have 6! like i said, be careful waht you wish for!! i shouldn't complain, but one of the people i'm getting. WOW. that's all i have to say about them. it ought to be interesting. i'm so thankful that i'm taking a long weekend this week, since all of this goes into effect 5/1! quote for the day: "are you dying?" --------
