CUSTOMER SERVICE
Today I was on the phone with customer service at Cal National Bank.
They sent my checks to the wrong address,
and as it turns out they would have to close my account and open a new one as a security measure, rather than just canceling the checks.
I thought this was very funny and started laughing.
The customer service man told me it was no laughing matter.
I told him that I had just laughed at it, and by that measure alone it was indeed now a laughing matter.
He told me I needed to take things more seriously.
I told him I would take things more seriously but that he should know today is opposite day.
“Opposite day?”
“Yes, opposite day. Check your calendar”
“There you go again, thinking everything is one big joke…” Then he transferred me to his supervisor.
Apparently Cal National Bank does not recognize opposite day.

I’m a fourth grade teacher and the kids always rename the days opposite days when they feel like it… I often end up walking backwards, teaching from the back of the classroom, and wearing my sweater backwards…They will love this story!
