Everyone has something in common...

Since I've been working a ton of hours, I've picked up on something that I find to be really cool. One person comes in and buys a $1.29 pop with 2 $1 bills. I give them their change, and they're on their merry way. Then, the next customer in line, who doesn't know a darn thing about the customer that was just in front of them, buys 3 lottery tickets with a $5 bill. Their change is $2, so they end up getting the last customers money.

Sometimes when I'm having a bad or maybe just boring day at work, I get really into this, and I imagine where those 2 bills will be in a day, a week, or even a month. I'll keep doing it until I confuse myself to the point of insanity!

Then I start to wonder who has touched my money before? Has Tom Cruise ever come into contact with my dollar before? Or maybe a convicted felon doing 15 in San Quentin... All very very possible.

If only paper money could talk, huh?

hey I just came across your blog, and this post.
There actually is a 'currency tracking website'!
Did you know that?
In Canada we use one called "where's willy?"
You would use www.wheresgeorge.com.
Apparently there are a few other ones, but I believe that one was the first. Check it out. I did it for a while, and then lost interest. You might like it, especially since you said you 'get really into it' and 'confuse yourself to the point of insanity'.
ha.ha. I hope you enjoy.
