Okay so I thought the unbelievable day I had yesterday deserved a blog entry, so here it is. I really don't know whether the day was hilarious or just really shitty, because it felt like I consecutively had the worst and the best luck possible.
I should mention the whole mess was triggered last Monday when I went to request a cheque from the bank. Another good point of note is that cheques are really uncommon in Finland, we have never really gotten into the habit of using them like the Americans or even Brits. Things just work better with well, means that are not so old-fashioned. So yes, I went to request a cheque. An international cheque. After much perplexity from the bank employee we got things rolling and they told me it should be done in a few days and they'd call me then.
And now, let's zoom ahead to Friday 9/9.
