I did spend a little more time, than I might have thought necessary, doing some banking. I find it unusual to have to actually speak to people when doing financial transactions. I had one deposit locked in for five years but it matured over the weekend. The thing is, I no longer do my main banking with that bank, so I had to physically go to carry a bank draft from there to another uptown financial institution. In order to accomplish this simple task, I had to talk with five different people. The process took over an hour.
Today, I realize how much I appreciate online banking. Of course, it was fantastic weather and walking uptown and back was actually a very enjoyable experience. And it wasn't like I didn't have the time ...
