September 5, 2008, is the day the world as I knew it was over. The call was brief but to the point. “Hey, it’s Linda from the bank. I wanted to give you as much notice as possible that the FDIC is shutting down the bank. I know that this is a complete surprise, as it is to many of us, and to be honest, I am not sure what the next few days and weeks will look like. So please do what you can to handle what you can in preparation.”
Fight, Flight, Freeze
