        How the hell am I going to carry enough money to the garden center to purchase a wheelbarrow?

        You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.

          I once worked with someone whose wife worked at the Print - it's pretty interesting to see and understand the security around the entire process and transport of pallets of cash. Shed regularly be in the secure area's which was an extremely large well protected bay area underground which would hold/house the notes for anything upto 18 months at a time.

          Wonder how many notes go missing?

            That's precisely why I'm warning you to get your wheelbarrow ready now, before you need it.

                There was a story a few years back about those people who were employed to burn the old bank notes. They were smuggling some out. They were rumbled when some guy went to open a bank account with a bag of used notes (about 100k) and said he worked at the mint.

                It's probably an urban myth but I liked it.
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                  What'll this do to the Euro exchange rate? I see last trades at 1.13 which is near the top end of the recent fluctuations.

                  P.S. I want to get 1.03 again

                    The only way is up - Im still going for 1.20 by the end of the month - the Euro is going to have a trroid time until the end fo the year.
