I spent my first afternoon at the ...Hi Holly,<br /><br /> I spent my first afternoon at the girls' school shelving books and it made me nostalgic for Rosser--especially because it took about 15 minutes for the librarian to explain to me where everything goes in a library about a quarter of the size of Rosser's. There are different coloured dots on some books (and Caldecott medals count as dots), and now they're thinking they need yet another dot to complicate things further. Anyway, this library is not so therapeutic as Rosser's was.<br /> Your description of the wire transfer was, though. A couple of weeks ago I went to check if some money arrived for us from Canada. I was directed to a window and was told it hadn't. When I got home, I noticed a three-day-old message on my phone alerting me that the money had arrived. I went back the next day (Saturday) and after a long discussion with a manager who was summoned by a teller who gave up trying to tell me why I still couldn't access my money, it became clear that I had been misdirected the previous day. Had I gone to another window to sign for the transfer, then the money would have gone into my account and it would show up at the other window. So what I had been told was impossible had not been impossible Friday, but it was impossible Saturday, because the people at the window I needed take weekends off. Then we left the country for two weeks, and it was just as well.<br /> I read somewhere that long trips are enjoyed most fully in recollection after returning home, but it sounds like you're all enjoying yourselves quite a bit right now. Take care.Todd Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09616651162338953216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3989947098064173388.post-61448550756279095722011-02-04T19:59:28.848-08:002011-02-04T19:59:28.848-08:00Ouch.
