Over the years I have worked quite a few jobs where I handled money. It always frustrated me when older people would hold up lines to dig through their huge purses and deep pockets looking for EXACT change. Ugh!!! It was always older people that were obsessed with digging for every single penny.
When I was not working jobs that required exchanging money, I was frustrated being stuck behind someone in the grocery store, food line, or retail lines digging for change. It was always my luck to get behind someone with a small suitcase that they knew had a penny somewhere in there.
I cannot remember what age I was when I became THAT person. I know, I know. So ridiculous. I have several rules about exact change in my life. I will not hold up lines to dig for the exact amount. I try to use the exact change when there is not a line behind me.
Cut to today. I absolutely LOVE people that have exact change. I cannot tell you how many people hand me a $20.00 for something that is $1.04. Really? They just do not want to take the time to look for exact change. Running out of change is such a pain. Figuring out what change I need is so time consuming. Change is now a huge part of my life. An unexpected part of my routine.
This is an, Isn't Life Funny kind of blog.
the irony of change & it's mulititude of meaning!
