Transposed.......
This morning I was making my way through this fine city when I happened to glance at the Sign/Board thing at the bank. It said 57*.......my first thought was.....they have transposed the numbers. It surely can't be that cool......gotta be 75*. Now why would I think this? Other than the obvious fact that it hasn't been that cool in 459 years. Because I think they make that transpose/wrong number mistake ALL THE TIME. I'm really sure that they get the numbers to my Account Balance off.....do they do that to you? I mean, I see my balance start with a 1.....surely that should start with another number....like maybe a 9? I'll even take an 8. So naturally, I assumed they had made another error this morning. It really was 75* and not 57*. Back to the sad state of my balance. They are always pretty adament about the fact that they are right and I'm wrong. Sigh..........and they are. Of course if I kept a really fine, up-to-date check register, I probably wouldn't be so surprised by these disappearing numbers.....but sadly, I don't. I want to....I really really do. I want to be that organized person that meticulously writes down every check and what it's for.....I want to proudly show my checkbook with no gaping holes. I'm not that girl. I'm more the keep it all in my head kinda person. My bank balance drifts along in my mind bouncing off the walls of the empty rooms......searching for some verification. I'm sure at times it hides underneath the fog that is usually somewhere up there......waiting to jump out at me and surprise me when it's not quite as TALL as I think it should be. My bank balance isn't my best friend. It sometimes drills holes in itself so it can drain out without me knowing it. I wonder if it's just mine that does that. I hope not. I don't want to think I have the only HATEFUL bank balance. AND the only bank that's always right while I'm always wrong. So if your bank transposes numbers like mine, cheer up. You have company. I feel your pain.
