Highlights from my filing system

Regular readers will know that at the weekends the budget for this blog does not allow for the posting of cartoons or interesting anecdotes. Instead I focus largely on highlights from my filing system.

Today, a section from my bank file entitled ‘letters informing me of my idiocy’.

letters informing me of my idiocy

This is where I file letters that tell me that I have done something wrong in banking terms, generally whilst paying in my cheques at the automatic cheque machine. Usually it is because the amounts do not tally because somewhere along the line I have pressed the wrong button, either on my calculator or on the automatic cheque machine itself.

I have never been very good at pressing buttons correctly. If, at a future interview, I am asked “What are your weaknesses?”, I shall reply, “Pressing buttons correctly”. Unless the job largely relies upon the ability to press buttons correctly, in which case I shall make something up and this blog post will be quietly deleted.

    Do the bank ever write and congratulate you for pressing the right button?

    This seems a little one sided…all stick and no carrot…I assume you like carrots by the way…

    I need a file like this – not about buttons. More like letters I have not replied to promptly enough (esp. government matters) which have gotten me into hot water. I suppose this was eliminate any job offers as a letter opener.
