How to Fill Out A Deposit Slip

Click on image to make bigger

Today's lesson is over how to fill out a deposit slip at your local friendly bank.

Here are some basic instructions

1. Please put the date.

2. Please write how much cash on the cash line.

3. You don't have to write down the checks, it is preferred, but please just add up the checks and cash together and place it in the sub total line.

4. If you want CASH BACK write it in the LESS CASH RECEIVE line.

5. Sign your name on the line that says Sign if Less Cash Received.

6. Finally write the total. If you are receiving cash back then subtract the amount of cash from the subtotal.

Subtotal - less cash receive (cash back) = total

• If you are receiving cash back please send or give your id to the teller.
  With all the fraud going on we just want to make sure no one is trying to steal your money. You may have been backing there for 60 years but we see over 200 faces per day and you may only come in once a month. As hard as we try, we cannot remember everyone.


• We will give the id back, i promise. If we accidentally do not send it back it was not on purpose. We seriously do not want it.


• If your id is expired we most likely will not accept it. Don't get mad at us, because I know you wouldn't get mad at a police officer if they told you the same thing.


• Please don't cure at me if I cannot give you account information on an account you are not on. How would you feel if I did that for someone wanting your account information? Plus it's the law. I cannot do it.


• There is a difference between a checking deposit slip and a checking withdraw, one is putting money in and the other is taking money out.


• Also a checking deposit slip is not the same as a savings deposit slip. I know they seem the same but they are not. Not only are they different in color but their purpose is completely different. Therefore please fill out the right slip for the right account.


• The Bank is not out to get you. However the government might and they require us to do certain things. It is my job to follow the law. If you do not like the law call your congressman or anyone in government to complain because I'm just a teller. it's not going to do any good to complain to me.

That is all for now. Class Dismissed.

Really Nervious

I'll let you know how it goes.

I don't think I'm offending our Lord

So today at work was pretty normal. I always find a way to offend someone whenever I am there. It is never on purpose but it always seems to happen.

We were talking about Halloween costumes. Most of the people I work with have children and were talking about their children's costumes. However I do not have children but I always think about my future kids and the things I hope they do.

I know this sounds funny but this is my hope and dream for my children. I would love my son to come up to me and say "I want to dress up as my hero." then I'll ask who that is and he'll say "Jesus!" I don't know why but I would love that. So I said that in front of a regular customer who is like a customer friend to most of us so I didn't think she'd mind. However this is what she said

"You are offending our Lord"

I could not believe she said that. I know everyone has a right to their own opinion however I don't think that is truly an opinion I think it was more of a statement. I was so hurt. I am a youth ministers wife, I attend church, I call God Daddy or Dad on a regular bases. Honestly I think God would smile upon my son if he wanted to dress up as him. I think it would be offensive if my son thought he was God and I can see how that would be offensive but how I presented my idea was not in that intent. I clearly said "I hope my son is so overjoyed with Christ that he wants to dress up as him because Jesus is his hero." I then told her that I did not believe it would be offensive and she muttered under breath that I must be very protestant. I then found out she is very Catholic and Italian. Wonderful. I was still very hurt. I wished her well and then I went to the back heated and wanting to cry, instead I ate three cookies.

Great.

Letter to Future Self

Dear Future Me

I am 21 and I am married, no children, no property of my own, live in a crappy house, husband and I both work part-time, I am in my jr. year of college hopefully graduating in the spring of 2011.

I have big dreams, ones that would provide children with more resources and a better education. My dream is to be a teacher, I am doing everything I can to make sure that dream comes true. However I feel I may be stressing to much to reach this goal. I want to make this world a better place and I sometimes fear I will fail. That I wont be a good teacher and wont make a difference in anyones lives. I feel that these dreams are not out of selfish motive, I really do want to bring goodness to the world to only leave this place better than the way I entered it.

Should I be worried? I know it is satan who puts those thoughts into my mind and tries to discourage me from doing my best, but in all honesty will I reach my dreams? I truly hope so.

I also sometimes worry that I wont be a good mother. I want my children to have the same desires to make this world a better place, to be productive, active citizens of whatever country they choose. I want them to wait to have sex and save their hearts for the one God has for them and let God be the ruler of their lives. I fear that I wont accomplish this and my children will end up in jail and hate me. I plan on being a great mother who does nothing but love and provide them with all the resources I can for a bright future. Will I be a great mother? Will my children love and adore me but even more do I love and adore my children? Am I able to have children?

Will Darrell finish his education and be offered a full-time position at a church? Will he make a difference in his youth lives?

Future self I hope you are still happy and full of joy. I hope you are living your life to the fullest and are enjoying ever moment of your life. I hope you love Darrell just as much as I do now if not more. I hope you are loving your job and not regretting your choice to be a teacher, because remember how hard you worked. Remember all the doubts and comments made towards you. How your teachers wanted to hold you back and how when you were in 8th grade you were finally considered avearge in reading and you balled your eyes out because you had worked so hard for years. You did it. You reached your dreams and I hope you have no regrets.
I hope you have no enemies and tons of friends. I hope my fab 4 are still your very best friends in the whole world and if not I hope you are still on good terms and talk every so often and remember the good old days. My hope for you is that you still love life to the fullest and your relationships are the best they can be. I hope mom and dad are grandparents and phillip and katherine are happy aunts and uncles and parents of their own. I hope my biological parents are still in your life and you talk often.

I hope your are the happiest you can possibly be, live to the fullest.

Keep the faith, be true to yourself. Love God, love your husband, love your kids, family and friends. Love.

Your Past Self

The Things Girls Talk About

If you know me at all you know that I am married, in my jr. year of college, and have three dogs. You also may know I get some really hot baby fever every now and again. I work at a bank with mostly girls so we talk a lot.

One day on my way home from school I was thinking to myself.

I though, "Self, you maybe graduating a year from this coming spring, you are going to be 23 years old and hopefully get a job that spring for the coming fall. But if you don't graduate in the spring you wont get a job until you are 24 years old. So from there if you are 24 you will teach for 2 or three years and then at most you'll be 27 years old. At 27 years old you'll start having a baby at the latest. Great!"

So the following day I went to work and told this plan to one of my close friends. She then said to me "Will you try to plan it out so you'll have your baby during the summer so you can spend all that time with it?" and I said "Yeah! Great idea. When would I have to get prego to do that" She then did the simple math and said "August, September at the latest." I was then pumped because that put the cherry on top of my beautiful plan.

I then proceeded to go home and tell my husband. He then looked at me and was like "Wow, I though you guys just worked with money all day" I then said, "True but money gets me thinking about babies, because we are going to need a lot of it."

I know that I am young but I am emotionally ready for a baby, I want one really bad but I know I'm not mentally, physically, financially, anything that ends with "ly" ready for a baby and therefore go as plan unless God intervene and lets me know of a better one :-D

I Cannot Wait To Be A Teacher

I cannot wait to be a teacher.

This is my first sememster of doing observations, real ones anyway. This summer I did some observations but they were not in a classroom setting. It is very interesting how different children act under authority and under no restrictions.

So this past week has been absolutely amazing. I was really nervous about doing my observations. I know I was going to make a good impression on the principal and the teacher but I was more concerned about the students. I haven't spent much time with younger children other than my siblings and children from church, I was afraid I wouldn't make a good impression on them. I know that I love children but until this week I was afraid they wouldn't love me.

I am so glad that fear is gone. I love the children calling me Mrs. and my last name it was so cute. Some of the children also asked me, "Will you be my teacher someday?" I told them, "Hopefully!" All of this just reinforced my desire to be a teacher. I really hope that I will be a good one. :-)

Interesting Day

So this week has been an interesting one.
My car is acting really retarted. For some reason it even when my keys are out of the ignition the car thinks that they are still there. So the car beeps letting know I'm forgetting my keys and when I try to lock the car manually it will not lock. Really weird.

Today my favorite backpack broke. Pretty unfortunate because it was my favorite backpack. I mean it's no big deal, it's just a backpack but all the same.

Also I found out today that my biological father Pat will not be able to come up tomorrow to see me. His games got canceled so he cannot come up unfortunately.

But what I realize is that my life is good. Things are really good and these are all just petty things that I will get over here in a few minutes or days. My life will always have it's ups and downs and I will be joyful in the Lord.

I Hate Being Sick

I hate being sick

It is not my favorite pass time

I do appreciate getting sick during the warm months as oppose to the colder months though. There is just something about being sick that is really annoying, along with misquotes, which there just happens to be a lot of right now.

So lately school is going good. I am ready to get done with school though. Like done done. Not just done for the semester but done forever but I have a feeling that is never going to happen. Working at the bank is always interesting.

Today my boss told me that I always seem to be the one that brings trouble when I come to her office. I told her they just find me. I think they come to me because I look so young which maybe true in some cases but not in most. I try to always get michelle to put me into the commercial window because that is were I get my best but I am finding that it is also get my worst.

Another thing I am really looking forward is the U2 and Black Eye Peas Concert in October!! Michelle, Shannon, and I are all going on a party bus with my parents and some of their friends! It's going to be absolutely awesome.

On an actual topic

Todays topic is why do we treat each other the way we do? Why are we so rude to eachother?
Do you really think it's ok to get yell at those who are helping you? I just cannot wrap my brain around why people think I am going to do whatever they ask of me while they are yelling it at me.

If you just happen to be one of those people who do yell at people let me tell you, I go above and beyond for people who are really nice to me. If they are just nice to me I am going to my job more than I need to. If you are rude to me, I am going to stand my ground and if my manager tells me different then I am not going to be the one that does it for you if I am made enough. Some one else is going to do it. That's just the way I am. I do not like being yelled at or even treated rudely. I do not respect people like that and you will just get the required work effort out of me, nothing above and beyond.

Also just a peice of advice from my experience. Anytime I have been happy to those who worked at the store I was at they have gone above and beyond for me. People like to work and do things for people who are nice to them. So this is my challenge to you. Just be nice. It will require less effort from yourself, you will have a great experience at the store you are at, and you will have a happy memory and day. That's all I can say to you. Thanks

School

Look who I got to meet! Her name is Picabo! You can meet her at Moody Gardens in Galvastin, Texas!

School can be so overwhelming.

I just got through my first week and my stress level is already at it's max.

So many projects and papers not even mentioning the observations hours I have to do.

Although, I really enjoy school. I hated my general education classes. They were pretty much worthless. Now that I am in the classes I actually will be using and learning from, Iam enjoying school much more.

So I'm hoping to graduate in Spring 2011 but that may or may not work out depending what I need to take next summer. I will most likely graduate in Fall 2011 because next summer I'll be going to Falls Creek with my church. Totally depends on when the classes fall and whether it interferes with Falls Creek.

I'm so ready to be done though. Cannot wait.
