Drive thru

Even the simplest operations require more extensive planning. 

Had to go to the bank to deposit a check. The bank doesn’t open until 10am, so the timing worked out fine, as the mail with the check got in at 9:15. Got to the bank’s drive thru at 9:59 and there were already six cars in the three drive thru lanes, awaiting the opening bell.

As I sat third in line, with more cars arriving by the minute, it only then occurred to me that I’ll have a contact contamination risk via the banking cylinder that goes in the pneumatic tube. With at least two cars in front of me, passing the cylinder around like a pitcher of beer on St. Patty’s Day, not to mention where tellers have been, I’d have to be conscious of not touching my face after the transaction. 

So I await my turn, kicking myself for not thinking to bring wipes with me for an immediate wipe down afterward. 

My turn comes, bing bang boom, and I zoom off home, having to scratch the phantom itch on my nose the whole way. 

Arriving home, I grab the spray cleaner and wipe down all the affected bits. 

Mental note: maybe keep a pack of wipes in each car for these drive thru scenarios. 

Only a month or so to go before we flatten the hell out of that curve…hopefully…..
