few days ago i decided to do something about my guilt of not be a much help to dad and mom. so i go down to the office and decided to help tidying up the coins.
sometimes, customers pay using coins. sometimes it is had been sorted, sometimes it is all mixed. 100, 200, 500, 1000 coins all jumbled up. Indonesia has two types of 100, of 500 and of 1000. Banks require us to separate them before banking them in.
there's a simple guideline. which is for Rp 100 coin each pack must round up to Rp 50.000- Rp 200 must be Rp 100.000 and so on.
to my delight i managed to found few packages that didn't need much work on- i just need to combine them. some need extraction and combination to reach the specific amount. usually they are 50k, 30k, 20k, 10k ect.
and then i found one odd package, 52k. i was prepared to take out 2k when i found another package, 48k.
i was surprised and delighted. yay, skip all the tedious counting for extraction or addition! one more pack down!
i don't know why, but it felt meaningful.
those two odd packages, they aren't that odd after all. they just need the right partner.
and they added up into one perfect 100k pack.
it might not be visible now, but im sure he is out there, that one person that it is as odd as i am.
