[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 712346, member: 4152"] Funny and memorable work place story One of my first jobs was a summer job working within a credit union of a large company. I was about 16 or 17. This was eons ago. People had passport savings account booklets. They would deduct money each week from their checks and I had to post it in their booklets. There was a new, huge computer...that was sort of like a giant typewriter. I placed this guy's book into the machine and promptly deposited 1 million dollars into his account. Geez Louise...I almost had a heart attack. For one thing, it was impossible to "erase" this from his book. The owner of the Credit Union heard me carrying on trying to figure out how to fix it. She was the coolest woman in the world. This was at a time when there weren't too many women owners of financial institutions and not even that many managers. She corrected the error and simply drew a line through it and made a new entry and made sure all the math was right and all the records reflected the correct deposit, etc. I think about that woman and that event A LOT. It was a great time and a great memory. [/QUOTE]
