Miscalculation

I am a math idiot. I know this. I’m way too pretty for math. Figuring out a tip? No way. How much is 20% off this $35 sweater? Fuggedaboudit. I ask Micah a math question and he looks at me like I’ve lost my mind. I return the look. He knows I cannot do math.

But you would think I could operate a calculator. I manage a website, for goodness sake. Apparently, I am no good at calculator usage. For the second time in a few months, I have goofed my checkbook by simply not using the calculator correctly. I have no idea how I’ve done this. I use a calculator to guarantee a correct balance. Yeah, right.

I’m looking at my online statement this morning and realize that The Bank’s balance is less than Mine and there are 2 things that haven’t yet cleared. Hmmm. Did I miss something? I went back to October checking purchases and checks and making sure I didn’t neglect to log something in. It’s all there in blue and white.

Ok, I must have miscalculated. I go several pages back in my check register, checking balances with a calculator, and I find it. $100+ plus error. Maybe I left out a number when I subtracted. Maybe I hit + instead of -. All I know is that I cannot be trusted with math. Period.

Anyone want to be my accountant?
