Dave X Change Challenge: June update

Dave X surged ahead of us during the month of May, largely because of one phenomenal red letter day. You know where they dump all the snow that’s plowed from your streets, somewhere down around Somerset and Bayswater? That huge snow mountain is still melting. Dave went and wandered about there, looking for change that might be accumulating on the surface as the snow melted. Guess what he found? A $50 bill! Later that same day he found a $10 bill on the street.

Meanwhile, my colleagues and I have been finding the odd penny. I found a dime one day. Dave X says we’d do better if we didn’t all hang out on the same street corner day after day looking for change. But we’re pretty much stuck on this street corner because that’s where our office is. I’m not trying to make excuses, but our staff has been shrinking dramatically. There used to be 23 of us looking for change; now there are only 11. (Okay, I know there’s only ONE of Dave X…but still.)

Maybe this weekend I’ll visit the dump.

    Poor Sue – I’m tempted to start leaving change around your apartment! I found a nickel yesterday.

  • Michelle, I’m gonna start watching for your scattered change. Mind you, I don’t think it would last long around here with all the kids running around….
