Here’s what I needed out of today: A block of uninterrupted time, estimated at seven or eight hours. As few distractions as possible (e.g., what I hoped to accomplish would not have been possible during baseball season). And for the project to go smoothly, without ruts and bumps that would force me to do the same thing over and over. (For example, it couldn’t be one of those days when the bank statement couldn’t be reconciled on at least the second (or third) attempt, especially since I was reconciling ten bank statements in a row.)
Obviously it was too much to ask for everything to go perfectly. I found errors the Kennel workers had made, and I found a few I had made. I even had questions about some wacky numbers the bank seemed to have pulled out of a black hole. In the end, though, I’m now finally satisfied of two things. First, the last two years of bank statements now balance with each other. And second, I know how much money we have in the bank. I think I do, anyway. |
