depositing checks at the bank of the philippine islands branch in blue ridge...
the teller told me one of the checks will be on-us while the other will be local.
ok.
then she asks me: 'does <supposedly on-us check issuer> know you'll be depositing it today?'
me: 'aw, i dunno... that's my mom's... she just told me to deposit it...'
teller: 'can you ask your mom whether <issuer> knows the check will be deposited today?'
me: 'is that necessary? the check is dated october 15. it's already 24th. that should be funded already.'
teller: '<issuer> might not know you'll be depositing it today...'
me: 'do you know <issuer>? has he bounced checks before?'
teller: 'i don't know <issuer>, ma'am.'
me: 'neither do i. i'm just running an errand for my mom. just deposit it. if it's not funded then let that be a lesson to the issuer that he should fund his checks on time.'
teller: 'is it okay with you if i just process it as local?'
me: 'you were the one who told me it's on-us... why will it be local now? what will happen if you process it as on-us?'
teller: 'it will be blocked, ma'am...'
me: 'really? why will it be blocked?'
teller: 'because the issuer does not know that it will be deposited today...'
me: 'are you sure?! how would the system know the issuer does not know the check will be deposited today?'
teller: 'i'll just call <issuer>, ma'am...'
me: 'ok.'
then teller comes back and tells me she could not contact the issuer.
me: 'is it really your policy to inform the issuer of every check deposit?'
teller: 'it depends, ma'am... if the amount is big... if...'
i blurt out: 'so P10,000 is big?!'
teller: 'no, ma'am...'
me: 'then why did you have to call the issuer before processing the deposit? is that really your policy?'
teller: 'it varies, ma'am... in this case we have to inform the issuer because it's on-us and it's interbranch. if it's local there'd be 3-day clearing.'
me: 'actually, it doesn't really matter whether you process it as local or as on-us because my mom's not going to withdraw the money anyway. but because of the things you've been saying i wanted it processed as on-us because i could not make sense of your policy and i want to test it.'
teller again asks me whether she can just process it as local.
me: 'okay. but you better be sure that's really how it's supposed to be because i'm going to blog this.'
teller says yes.
my errand is complete.

sister: 'i bought chocs...'
me: 'i thought you're not supposed to eat chocs anymore?'
sister: 'it's for you...'
me: 'yeah? but if it's in the ref it would be too easy for you to get some, too... don't test yourself...'
it's easier to avoid temptation than to resist it.

me: 'aw, sorry... where can i park then?'
guard: 'you can wait at the lobby, ma'am...'
me: 'yes... but where do i park?'
guard: 'just wait at the lobby, ma'am...'
me: 'does that mean i have to park outside?'
guard: 'no, ma'am... the lobby is inside the building...'
me: 'haha... i know... but then i'm alone... if i go to the lobby, what happens to my car? i can't bring it inside... do i have to park outside the compound?'
guard: 'no, ma'am... you can park at the side... just go straight then turn left...'
whew! that was my question from the start...
