Today one of the tasks that was on my hone do list was to deposit my pay check of 2 and a half days into the bank. While some of you might not think this is much but my take home was north of $900. Well, on my way to pick my son up from school, I stopped at the gas station to pick up a pack of smokes. For some unknown reason I put the check in my left back pocket with my phone. I pulled my phone out to check on the status of the Toxic set while waiting in line. Unbeknownst to me, it fell out. Obviously the wife was panicked that I had lost this much money. About 10 minutes ago my doorbell rang, it was well after 9 pm. A local school bus driver had picked it up and knew where I lived so he actually drove the check to my house and handed it to me personally.

Bus driver stalking you.

Great story to read before bed! I feel warm and fuzzy now.
-
How cool! That's great to hear.
-
That's kind. Go midwest!
In the worst case though, your company would have a put a stop on that check and just given you a new one.
I know that's not the point, but anyways.

so, $1800 a week? good.

Maybe he was a fellow geekhacker

At the very least I sure hope. If pulling in $2900 then he's in a good section where tax concessions really do kick in beautifully (at least here in Australia).

oh i'm so blessed with our 13% flat rate.

That's a good story. I now feel comfortable emerging from basement, where I have been since Keycon 2013, and interacting with other human beings.

bah, stay in the basement. People are horrible. I agree with demik, the bus driver was just delivering the check in order to check out the house for future home invasion, torture and murder. That's what happens in the midwest. Or haven't you seen the movies Capote, Infamous or Badlands? And even if you survive the home invasion from the bus driver, you'll more than likely get gun downed by some gun-crazy nut out there in 'Murica's heartland. Here in NYC, you just have to avoid getting shot by the Po Po Mans.

It was 6 hours straight time for orientation on Thursday
12.5 hours of overtime from Saturday
and 14 hours of double time from Sunday
The 937 was take home after taxes and union deduction which is about 9% of my gross.

Ehh it ain't like that man. I still don't remember the last time I actually locked my car door.

Really? I'm always re-locking and double checking all the locks on the cars and the house. Too many weirdos around here.

Yeah I never lock my car. But its nothing special. Just an 05 Buick Park Ave.

Indianapolis has a higher murder rate than New York. Someone got shot and killed two blocks from my house a couple weeks ago. I'm staying in the basement.

Great movie. Too bad that nothing Malick did since Days of Heaven is watchable.

You clearly don't live in a city.
I really hated the ghetto I had to live in as a student. It wasn't quite a war zone, but enough that I'll never go back without bringing as many guns as the average Republican has in his house.
