Things That Seem Ridiculously Too Easy

Me: (to teller) I need a cashier's check. You'll have to look up my account number. (hand over withdraw slip and DL)
Teller: Please sign the slip, sir.
Me: Oops. (signs slip)
(Cashier looks up acct number and scribbles on slip)
Me: Made out to me please.
Teller: In this amount, sir? ($25K+)
Me: Yes.
(< two minutes later)
Teller: Here you go, sir.

No Homeland Security guy with latex gloves or anything.

Other notes:

• I bought a couch for the new place this weekend. Delivery expected around Labor Day.
• My brother found a contractor to repair the floor. Assuming all goes well tomorrow I'll be making a trip to Home Depot to get material. His labor rate is very reasonable, we're negotiating a gasoline stipend.
• I'm in the market for a decent, but not too expensive grill.

The money pit has started before the signing. I don't know if I will post anything tomorrow or not as I expect to have sever writer's cramp.
