I really haven't had much 'change' to report in 2015. Between illness and how I spent my money, it just never quite seemed to accumulate.
This month I actually got to go to the bank.
1 roll of toonies - $50
1 roll of loonies - $25
2 rolls of quarters - $20
1 roll of dimes - $5
Grand total - $100
I am excited for this and I took it to the bank yesterday and put it straight down on the college LOC. Every little bit counts.
Funny story from the bank.... So I go in with my rolls of change and end up at a younger ish teller. Here is how the conversation went.
J - Yes I'd like to put this money down on my LOC please
Teller - Ok (glances at the rolls) so $105
J - $100
T - (with a sigh of exasperation and tone she looks at the5 rolls) $105
J - (with a smile and a quiet voice) There's $100 there
T - (takes her pen and emphatically taps each roll and snarks as she tallies for the obviously stupid client) $50, $75, $85, $95, $105
J - (with a small smile taps the dime roll with her finger) A roll of dimes is $5, so $100
T - Pfffft whatever
I said nothing but I'm thinking 'ok I am ok with an extra $5 but your count will be out at the end of the day'
I am going with 'She was embarrassed she was wrong and doesn't have the skills to handle it'.
Tuesday, Nice weekend!

LOL. She should have just said, "Oh, yes, you're right." It's such a small thing.
Oh the young hate to be found out wrong. I'm surprised she didn't find a way to blame her mistake on you! You were very gracious :)
Pear - I know...there are so many ways she could have handled it.
Jane - I told my students how that conversation went and we brainstormed ways she could have handled it differently and talked about tone and speech :-)
