Some of us strive for perfection, other live by the motto perfect is the enemy of done. Still I take some pride in what I do. But the older I get the more shortcuts I take. Hence this weeks Sunday five.
1: Would you have taken time to put the access cover back in place so the yellow lined up?
2: Do you reconcile your bank statements (the way your bank would like you to)?
3: Do you save all of your credit card receipts to match against the statement before paying the bill?
4: Do you
5: Do you study the map, or just go with GPS?
My answers:
1: Would you have taken time to put the access cover back in place so the yellow lined up? Yes, it can't be that hard and it would have looked so much better (Metro station at Braddock Road)
2: Do you reconcile your bank statements (the way your bank would like you to)? I quit doing this about 30 years ago, online banking helps me to track my record against the bank, but I don't go looking for minor variations, I assume the bank is correct. There is a major trauma of childhood involved with my mother spending an hour looking for a three-cent error in the checking account.
3: Do you save all of your credit card receipts to match against the statement before paying the bill? I save them, and then don't check them against the bill.
4: Do you
5: Do you study the map, or just go with GPS? Most of the time, I go where ever the little voices tell me to go (GPS.)
Your answers?
1: yes
ReplyDelete2: no; (a) no statements mailed and (b) I use the phone teller to check my account weekly
3: yes
4: yes (one time I misspelled a client's last name [fuckinger instead of fickinger]); without proofreading...OY!
5: paper maps ALWAYS
1: Would you have taken time to put the access cover back in place so the yellow lined up? YES!!! I can't even look at that!
ReplyDelete2: Do you reconcile your bank statements (the way your bank would like you to)? No.
3: Do you save all of your credit card receipts to match against the statement before paying the bill? I do. Jerry doesn't. He pays the bills. Oh well.
4: Do your proof read every email before sending? Yes.
5: Do you study the map, or just go with GPS? Both.
Yes to all of these except 2. I generally call have two day to make sure my balance is the same as I have. I'm am very anal retentive about neatness and organization, with a touch if good ole crawford ocd throw in.
ReplyDelete1: Would you have taken time to put the access cover back in place so the yellow lined up? Yes!
ReplyDelete2: Do you reconcile your bank statements (the way your bank would like you to)? Carlos handles the bank account reconciling because he loves to do it.
3: Do you save all of your credit card receipts to match against the statement before paying the bill? Yes.
4: Do your proof read every email before sending? I do not; that's what spellcheck is for.
5: Do you study the map, or just go with GPS? I like a map.
1. Yes, that hurts my eyes.
ReplyDelete2. No. I usually catch mistakes before I receive the statement.
3. No, that's balder half's job.
4. "Your" is a joke, right? Yes I proof read and yes I miss stuff.
5. No one has ever been able to teach me to read a map or program a
GPS. I don't drive unless I know where I'm going. Basic hermit.
My strange brain, missed that one!
Delete1) yes I would fix the cover. In fact I wish I knew where it was so I could come fix it this minute.
ReplyDelete2) My Husband reconciles bank statements for me. He is such a dear.
3) I glance at the bill to make sure it looks correct.
4) I need to get better at my proof reading.
5) I much prefer maps, but will use gps in a pinch.
1. Hell yes.
ReplyDelete2. I’m paperless but I do check online.
3. Yes I look but sometimes the payment name is odd and I have check it.
4. God no, haven’t you seen my blog???
5. If I hire a car when working I use GPS. My map reading is appalling.

ReplyDeleteI would have put back the yellow line as it was
