Nov. 18th, 2003 01:51 pm*crosses 2 more people off her crimbo shopping list* Done... and done... :D
Only a few folks left and then lots of shipping to deal with. Oyy~~#
Went to the bank to transfer some money this morning. I'm like... I need to send it to the same place that I did about 6 months ago, only I've lost the bank details. You can retreive the information for that, right...?
Woman looks at me with that "oh here we go again" kinda' look that is associated with the filing system at my bank.
"If I can find it in the files..." she says, pessimism oozing from every pore.
She leaves for a couple of minutes and returns, a look of mild incredulity upon her features.
"You have no idea how lucky you are..." she says to me, thumping down a 6" thick file of disorganised paper. "Only some people file things at the back... and some people file things at the front... so everything here's out of order. I thought there's no way... but I just opened it in the middle and there it was!..."
"It was meant to be," I replied. "Evidently."
She gave me a funny look and decided to print out a couple of extra copies of the relevant details so I'd be less likely to loose them the next time around.
*grins*
On the less handy side though, I did end up accidentally picking up the wrong colour mountboard in town... *slaps head*. Picked up delft blue instead of cloud blue which is darker than I wanted... only the light in the shop sucked and I couldn't really tell them apart till i got home :/
Oh well, I'm sure I'll find a use for it somehwere.
