Thoughts and takes on the way life presents.... |
So my son Matt went shopping with me. Before we hit the grocery store I made sure to tell him that I need to drop off the paycheck and mail bills. My mistake is I put the grocery list and the paycheck in the same stack as the bills to be mailed. So we mail the bills and then head for the bank. I got confused and stop by the grocery store first wherein Matt asks if I am skipping the bank. You know that Oh, s*** expression you get when you know you blew it. That was me. Slam on the brakes and start searching madly. Matt had to tell me to pull into a parking spot to look. After he figured out that I was looking for my paycheck, he asked if it was in the stack of envelopes that he mailed. Yes! So I drop him off to do shopping while I head back to the post office. I walked up to the clerk and said I did something stupid. She got her supervisor who walked out to the post box to get it. I told her what it looked like and what name was on it and boy was I thankful and appreciative when I got it back. She got a good laugh and bruised egos heal. After we got the groceries that Matt shopped for, we head straight to the bank and deposit the check. Then off to home where I found out I got a refund check from the mortgage company. I lost a Christmas check that my dad gave me. I misplaced a Christmas bonus check for 10 hours. I tried to mail an unstamped unaddressed payroll check to myself. Who thinks I can be trusted with this refund check? Anyone? |
