Like YOU Don't Do SOMETHING "Weird" ....

I was here at work tonight, all by my lonesome (har), and my management team (one M, one F) came in because they have guests here @ the hotel this weekend.

I was in the process of cleaning out my wallet on a "downtime" moment (don't get many of those around here anymore!) and I found some cash that I'd just shoved into the bottom of my purse. It was all a mess, wrinkled and crinkled up...so I did what any SANE and REASONABLE person would do: I sorted it by denomination and plugged in an iron.

That's right: I iron my crinkly money.

OK, first and foremost: SHUT IT.

Secondly, it goes into the vending machines all nice and easy and I don't get them spit back out at me. And lastly, when I have to make ATM deposits for the Avon business, it makes the envelope go in 100% easier. Plus it looks nicer in my wallet and I am not ashamed TO PAY anyone, since my bills aren't all rolled and crumpled. I started doing this when I was in college because the vending machines at my school SUCKED ASS, and unless the bill was flat and wrinkle-free, it wouldn't go in NO MATTER WHAT you did to it. I could only take SO MANY drink-free afternoons in the heat of the Arizona desert, so I figured out that a tad of starch and the steam setting fared me well!

Anyhow, back here at the hotel, Pam looked at me like I had three heads. She thought that was THE WEIRDEST thing she'd ever heard of. She said the only time she'd seen that was on TV and usually the "ironer" as "up to no good". Her guests didn't think too much of it, and the M part of the team said: "Right on..."

He "GETS IT". :o) I knew there was an underlying reasons why I liked him so much!

I personally just hate money to be all crumpled up. As a cashier NOW and in many positions past, I appreciate putting a bill into my cash drawer that will lay flat.

So there you have my reasons.

Just don't ask me how I get those bills SO "April Fresh."
