Muse for Money? Apply within . . .

Muses should start modernizing their inspirational repertoire. They may be slacking (and we risk opprobrium from the dainty ladies) in certain areas that need their input. For instance, banking. Banks tend to forget that customers have brains, too. A good number of those brains may wish to be inspired to save their money within a banking institution. We don't refer to offers of loans or credit card rewards or free ice chests for opening an account. What appears to be missing is the inspiration that banks might inspire with highly knowledgeabe sales people (often misnamed "relationship bankers").

You see, one of the MuseForce has been shuffled from office to office over the last 7 months.  Never has the "relationship banker" been the same person. Divorce is far too inevitable in banking relationships it appears. Even with the ephemeral one-day relationship, the "relationship banker" seems to have to make frequent calls to "special services" or the "legal department" before embarking on any activity with the relationshipee (read customer).  Of course, with each new return visit--and new relationship banker--the wheel must be reinvented.

Which muse should shoulder this monumental responsibility??  Anyone???  Didn't the Vikings have some expertise here?
