Employees at Joyful Banker

The Banker’s goofy employee roster—Hard working, every one!
We couldn’t run this place without the cooperative efforts of some first-rate folks. You might run into most of them again when you visit their departments. Here’s the staff roster.

Together, we all work well as a team—devoted to the Binkle Movement. That means promoting the emotional wellbeing of every one of our customers. Of course, we’d do our best for you, even if The Joyful Banker, herself didn’t insist on it.

Goofy Policies Department   They develop the quirky policies and make sure our day-to-day activities run smoothly.
      President – Cash O’Connor
      His trusted Assistant – Penny Aldrich

Your Personal Banker - Ima Dewar     Really, your Personal Thanker
What she does best is helping you get what will make you thankful (rather like your mom that way). Count on her to eliminate difficulties with your worldly goods—so you can pay more attention to your unworldly good

Teller – Allie Ears       Who actually listens, instead of tells

Auditor (odd-itor) – Benny Counteur     Even odder than the rest of us.
But please don’t hold it against him. He’s fixated on counting beans, or full
of beans, one or the other.

Trust Officer – Gwen Miller   She runs the Trust Department, which celebrates transitions and life changes. That’s when you discover who you really can trust.

Legal Beagle - J.D. Dawg, Esquire, member American Bar Association (ABA) and American Beagle Association (ABA)    He keeps the bank in compliance—with a high level of frivel, giggle, and absurdity.

Guide – Hale N. Hardy     He leads the Fun Tour    You’ve probabably already met him. The rest of the time he assists customers as a Personal Thanker.

Guard – Darcy Pierce   Instead of protecting the money, he protects customers - from the glums. He does a great Barnie Fife impersonation.

Our Esteemed Guard Cat - Godfrey   He prowls the halls,
ever on the alert for anything to amuse or out of the ordinary. Not much gets past ’Ole Godfrey. He’ll glide out of the shadows, acting like he owns the place. And in some sense, he does.

Don’t be surprised by his insistent attention when you’re tending to business. Just rub his ears and he’ll be your friend forever. Godfrey keeps an eye on things, especially when the bank isn’t open.

   A cat is a paradox in a physical form:       

• indifferent and cuddly       
• languid and speedy       
• distant, while insisting on attention

    Godfrey’s antics bring paradox to the front of the brain. Check out
    Love Letter to a Cat, a BonBon.

Our Founder - That’s the Guy in the Sky, Our Most Significant Other, who never “made a man he didn’t like.” As our ever-present ethical influence, he guides our priorities and the way we run the show.   Cloudside Chats (cartoons)

The Joyful Banker   herself - Lynella Grant
Her frivel-ous presence animates every aspect of this operation—mostly behind the scenes. She’s probably around here someplace, but she never stands still long.

Warning—Do Not Risk Your Safety!

There’s someone else in the bank (wouldn’t exactly say lives here). Someone who’s not on the payroll, and definitely not a valued member of the team. His irritable and irritating presence haunts the depths of The Vault—and he’s been around here about as long as the bank has.

This guy is cranky and dislikes intrusions. So be careful when you’re down there. He just might pop up at you without a sound—which is pretty spooky.
    OK, you’ve been warned. Don’t make me have to say, I told you so!
