I can’t help it; I’m a pessimist. If there’s $999 in my bank account, I’m going to say there’s $900. If it’s going to be in the “high 80s” over the weekend, I’m going to say it’s going to be 80 on the dot.
I got chewed out by my boss today because he had asked me a while back for the date of a client meeting I told him it was April 20th. He went to the meeting location on the 20th but no one showed up, so he came back confused but stranger things have happened. Today, on the 26th, he gets a call that the client has been waiting for him at the location and is positively ticked off. So I guess I had rounded down from the 26th to the 20th when I told him.
Obviously I’m going to try to avoid doing this in the future as it could cost us an account worth a hundred grand but it’s very instinctual and I do it without thinking. I mean hell I literally just did it without thinking. The account is actually $475,000.
Anyone else do this?

I understand the whole money thing. At least you can have a little extra by low balling the amount at the end of the day.
But yeah with dates, you need to change that habit ASAP 😂🫡
