When I first started working for TD Bank. Janet was one of the first people I met. She showed me around the branch. When we got to the basement she told me that the bank held dances in the basement. She even showed me a mirrored disco-ball and showed me where they had hung it. She also told me the basement was haunted and there had been ghost sightings. I believed it. For so long I was nervous about going downstairs and I thought of the dances and what fun they must of had. A couple of months later I mentioned it to another co-worker who has been there a long time and I was told that there have never been dances downstairs and no ghosts either. Janet did that to the new people, she told them stories for a joke. I fell for it. Janet and I used to laugh about it for years to come. I will always remember Janet and her wicked sense of humor. R.I.P. my friend.
