Some interesting things happened today. I have a CO2 tank that I use to make carbonated water, which I’ve been using for the past few months. The tank recently ran out of gas, so I brought it to a local place to have it filled. However the amounts of the transaction were very bad.. Having it filled was $16, and the time of the transaction was 3:06:01! They seemed to know who I was, so later I started wondering if they could see the time on the machine and waited until that moment to ring it through.. But that is just speculation, who knows what happened. Within 3:05 or of course 3:07 would have obviously been much better in any event. When they were ringing me up I noticed a sign that said there is a $2.00 fee for credit cards, but I was still in the mindset that “the amounts don’t matter anymore,” so I didn’t ask him to re-ring it up using a credit card instead of a debit card, and also I thought he might add it for the debit card as well. I left the store knowing the amount was $16 but not knowing that the time was also 3:06, and as I was riding away I decided that since it was the 10th today I should go back and ask them to re-ring it up with a credit card to make it $18 since the resolution is presumably so close, still not realizing the time of the transaction. So I went back in and asked them to do that, and they told me that they didn’t know how to do that. So I went home.
When I got home I checked the receipt and I was startled to see what the checkout time was. So even though I’ve not been doing the amounts anymore, I knew that I didn’t have any choice but to go shopping to fix that. I was all out of groceries anyway. So I went shopping and got some interesting amounts.. The total was $107.54, and the checkout time was 6:57. I should note that I didn’t look at any clocks or have any indications of the time as I was shopping. I don’t know what the “4” is, but my address is “421.”
I see the “6:57” as elevating the checkout amount, so clearly that is a positive sign. It only makes sense that the checkout time would modify the amount, rather than vice-versa, one of the reasons being because it is listed second.
In any event, no matter what the amounts come to I’m a Christian with genuine intentions. I’m looking forward to the resolution, I hope it can happen soon. I hope all is well..
