I got paid today!!  wooo hoooo

So, we had to take it to our credit union which is 12 miles away (not our local bank account).  Blips and I argued who should drive.  He did not want to drive because he hates and I mean he HATES the drive up window at the bank.  The lobby is closed and we have no choice.  He can’t understand what she is saying because 1-it is a machine and a bit garbled and 2-this is Minnesota and we round off things and slur them together.

He did agree to drive because I have to work tomorrow and my back is stiff from sitting at a computer.  I told him to just memorize these two phrases……..#1 “Fine, thanks”………..and #2 “Thank you, you too”.  That is all he needs to say at the pole when he puts the money in the tube and a fuzzy voice comes out of the pole at the drive up bank.  He thought I was a little nuts but I said I would treat us to dinner at our favorite Chinese buffet when the bank was done.  I insisted he learn how to do this because if I was not available, he needs to know how to get money from the fuzzy voice pole at the drive-up.

We get to the bank and the fuzzy voice in the pole says, “Hi, how are you today?”….to which Blips answers phrase #1-”Fine thanks” 

Then we hear some clicky sounds at the pole (the receipt is on its way), the fuzzy voice says,” there ya go, have a nice weekend”…..to which Blips answers phrase #2…….”Thank you , you too”

And our Chinese buffet was delicious.
