A number of years ago I worked for a Bank.  I was employed to do relief cover for Head Office secretaries but inbetween times I had to work in a branch.  I hated branch work (not good with numbers) and the staff weren't very patient in traning me.

However I persevered and made a reasonable job of it.  One of my duties was to package up the money for collection by Securicor - this was usually anything between 10k - 60k and one time it arrived at the depot £2k short and it turned out I had dropped a couple of packets of money down the back of the sorting table!  It's a good job the money was found or I would have been on a very sticky wicket!  

I would normally always own up if I know I've made a mistake but in this case I didn't know anything about it.  Needless to say I was much more careful in future.
