** DOES ANYONE KNOW SHORTHAND? **

I came across this slip of paper while going through some things and I haven't a clue what it means.

 

Can anyone help me out??

Tends2dogs, unfortunately I don't know shorthand.  But I did just type it into bing.com and they showed shorthand symbols that corresponded with the alphabet.  And again, unfortunately, I'm not swift enough to know how to put a link into my post.  Good luck!

It has been YEARS since I took shorthand, but it looks like "back to work at the bank".  Does that make sense?

It's been years for me to but  back to work at the bank  is what I thought also.

If you find anything different please post.

I agree except for the third word ... that's not how I would spell 'work' in shorthand.  But everyone personalizes their own shorthand.  Also 'to' looks more like 'do'

I agree - back to work at the bank.  But, it's been many years since I've used shorthand Smiley Happy!

It depends on whether it's Gregg or Pittman shorthand.  It looks more like Gregg to me because I really don't recognize the strokes as Pittman.

It looks like 'back do (or due) are you at the bank' - but of course that makes no sense lol
