Feb 30

Funny and embarrassing thing happened today....

'A' wrote a cheque that was post dated in a jiffy so that I can send it to the supplier. The supplier called and said that he could have never been able to bank in the cheque. It was puzzling till he told us the post dated cheque date.

Feb 30 2008

It was terrible, 'A' had forgotten that there wasn't 30 days in Feb, even 29 days happen once every four years. Best part is I did not check the date as well assuming it was right. Silly us....

'A' joked and said that it is supposed to indirectly tell the supplier that we are NOT PAYING them... but then again it was merely a JOKE that arose from 'A' 's forgetfulness and me taking for granted that everything is right.

Well that only goes to tell us that humans make mistakes and the consequence of this... was I had to make another trip down to the supplier just to pass him a new cheque... to ice it off... the terrible embarrassement...

Anyway... why isn't there a Feb 30 ???? make 'A' and me look so bad.... must go search for the answer...!!!
