Brain On Holiday

Sales Rep: “Hi. I was just wondering why my expenses haven’t been paid in to my bank account today?”

Me: “It will be in tomorrow. Yesterday was a Bank Holiday, so the payments take on extra day to clear.”

Sales Rep: “Why’s that then?”

Me: “Yesterday was a bank holiday.”

Sales Rep: “Yes, I know that.”

Me: “…So, the banks were on holiday. They weren’t working yesterday, so it pushes the whole process back a day.”

Sales Rep: “Really? I didn’t think that would affect it!”
