In balancing my checkbook this evening, I find that my checks are out of sequence because a check I wrote from a month and a half ago still hasn’t been cashed. This irritates me for two distinct reasons:
1. Now I have to keep a mental tab of this check’s value until I see it go through so I don’t bounce anything else instead of simply working off the numbers I see online.
2. And even moreso annoying, the check that hasn’t been cashed is the donation that I made to the Red freakin’ Cross for hurricane relief! So much for them needing anything that we’re able to spare for our fellow man if they couldn’t even get around to taking my offering to the bank – it’s reasons like this that make me wonder if some of the stories about these guys abusing “administrative funding” isn’t true as well…
