This blog is a daily journal of my random thoughts. I could write about what bothers me, what I did that day, or more than likely, obsess about my 4 self-published books. Check out the "book information" page to find out more!

How much money have I touched in my life?
I have worked with a lot of numbers tonight. I had to go to my dad's liquor store to help him count bottles. I'm watching the World Series of Poker main event final table where the winner gets over $8.5 million. I'm looking at horse races for this weekend, which involves looking at numbers to assess how I think the horse might do. It got me thinking. Since I have worked 9 years at the grocery store, and probably about that many years (only about a dozen times a year ish) at my dads store, I wonder how much cash I have touched in my life. When I was younger, I used to go in to my dads store on Sunday's and help him count the money. I would bundle up $20 bills in stacks of $1,000. Although more and more people use credit, I still handle tons of cash at both stores that I work at. I have definitely touched hundreds of thousands of dollars. I touch thousands of dollars each shift, even more around holiday time. It's interesting to think about the amount of money I have touched throughout the years. I wouldn't mind handling the $8.5 million that a poker player is going to win tonight. That will be more money than I will ever touch in my life time, won't come anywhere near making that much money either.
