Steph, that sounds wonderful. I hope you have a great time!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

{{lisah}} Ouch!
Not sure about weekend plans yet. Saturday my niece is going to help train me on using a gentle leader with Skinner. I just can't handle him, and she thinks I can with this. Weather permitting I may go kayaking around the lake to check out the fall leaves. Mostly just being relaxed.

Sounds glorious, Steph. I wanted to take the ferry across Lake Champlain from NY to VT and do the Ben & Jerry's tour, but they are renovating, so next year. It would be a hella drive for a cone, just sayin'. We went across the lake on the ferry a few times when I was a kid and it is a fond memory. My dad used to buy liquor on the VT side because the taxes were cheaper or some such.

Bank called! (I insisted they give me the extension so I could call back on the main number, tho!) claimed it was a teller error and they’d typed the wrong account number. Wtf. For $6k? I was like “it’s an inconvenience for me because I have the money and other bank accounts, but for someone else this would’ve been a huge nightmare!” Now I gotta fix my direct deposit too, because it was supposed to hit today but the account is closed and I wasn’t able to update work info in time

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
claimed it was a teller error and they’d typed the wrong account number.
Yeah, but they originally told you that someone walked into a brick-and-mortar brnach and withdrew the money. So either the mythical person who made the withdrawal or the mythical teller who typed the wrong number (or both) is a lie. That wouldn't fill me with confidence about their continued ability to be your bank.

That's good news, except for all of the irritating parts.

Yeah—I think they’re still saying someone walked in and withdrew money, but they’re claiming the teller who did that withdrawal fucked up. Not 100% sure I believe (aren’t there double checks??) but I’d also believe if it was a thieving teller they probably wouldn’t tell me?

Approve of cake choice. But, really, there wasn't one I wouldn't have liked.
lisah, ouch! Heal well.
Steph, that sounds heavenly.
meara, I'm glad it's resolved, but yikes.
Laura, lake kayaking and relaxing sound fab.
I kind of want to schedule a massage for this weekend now. Hmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think those fit together? Someone walked into a branch to withdraw money from their own account, and the teller took it from the wrong account by accident. Anyway.
Steph inspired my main plan for tomorrow. No, not hiking in Vermont, going to Trader Joe's to buy everything pumpkin!!!!!

Wow! Maybe they watched the tape and saw which customer it was and they have a similar account number? Bad handwriting on the part of the customer on the withdrawal slip?
