When we were counting the offerings today, it was super fast! N there were no mistakes too! Either we were fast or there was not very much! Usually we wld take about 1.5hrs to finish sorting n counting but we maged to complete it a little over an hour! Just to give u readers a little background: Angela n i help 2 count the $$$ or we call them tithes n offerings every other month. Since this is the even mth, our team is on. We were approached by the church staff cos they knew tt we had prior experience counting money. Well, Angela had worked in Thomas Cook Foreign Exchange years ago n when i first started working, i was doing sales which involved quite a fair bit of handling cash.

It is interesting to see what kind of things end up in the offering bag. For instance, i see pple giving God what is left and not what is right. Items such as receipts, tissue paper n previouly when there were bus tickets, i saw those things as well. On the other hand, during the fund raising for our new bdg, i saw cheques with figures tt r huge enough so i dun think i shld post here. Likewise, pple even put in their gold bangle as well. Not to mention, stacks of various currency bills with some 'freshly' out of the ATM machine! (u can tell cos they r brand new!) BUt the frustrating part is tt some pple hand itche, lyk to fold the currncy note into various things like: heart, boat, aeroplane, paper bullet etc etc....

Got eng mock test tmw. I tried out the self study test n did quite ok. Now the next thing is to be able to do it fast n accurate.
