I suppose it had to happen to me someday. Me, who virtually lives on a computer. Me, who used to work in a bank and gets frustrated when people don’t understand how to use cheques properly. Me, who is a gadget freak.

I had to ask someone how the paying in machine worked at our local bank, as out here in the wilds of Worcester they don’t have tellers on a Saturday.

In my defence, I’ve never bothered using them before. I prefer to have the teller do it all and I get the nice stamp in the paying in book to “prove” it’s gone in. I’d far rather queue for 5 minutes to deal with a real person (despite the fact that with all other banking I’d far rather use the internet or phone bank! I’m just a waddling contradiction, I am). All the same, it’s rather embarrassing when I score lower than a technophobe when trying to figure out how to use a simple machine.

Think I can get away with blaming the pregnancy hormones for this as well?
