I blame the money

[plutherus]

OK, that's it, I'm getting a change-counting machine. Counted, sorted, and rolled all the change by hand yesterday. Caught something off all those coins - breathing in the same black dust that completely coated my fingers and took several minutes of scrubbing to get off. And now I spent half of last night throwing up and burning up and I feel like crap today.

This sucks.

The worst part, of course, is that since my roommate's even worse off than I am right now, I'm not gonna get any sympathy.

Waaaah!

OK, I go lay down for a while again now.

Most banks these days have one, you can bring the change in your bucket and they will nicely run it through the machine.

Also, many stores have them, I have noticed them at Fred Meyer recently.

Yeah, our bank used to, but doesn't anymore - it has to be rolled up before being brought in now.

And the ones in stores keep your rare or weird coins, and take almost 10% of whatever's left, so I don't really want to do that.

Though I'll do that before hand-rolling it all again...

Ahhh. I didn't realize the stores took part of the money! That's lame... :(

Let Teag and I know when the next change drive is due for rolling and we'll come help. And it might not be a bad idea to rinse it all with bleach and water first. That way, no worries.
