Stoopid…there goes that $100
So, Sunday, I get home from a two week trip to Texas, check the mail and discover that, much to my surprise, that there is a child support check in the stack of mail. Fine, it’s not like I get more than 1-2 a year and besides, he owes $96, 754.92, as of Friday. So, I head over to the PC and log into the Child Support thingy-ma-bob and it says not only did I get the ONE check, I should be getting another in the next day or so.
Woo hoo!
I go through the mail, throw away the (omg, the trees!) junk and table the other stuff.
Finally, I got around to checking the mail this morning - and guess what? No check. I am guessing that it was in the stack of (really well sifted) junk on Sunday - but that trash went out on Sunday, after cleaning the cat crapper and it’s been well over 100 here every day this week (month…summer…but who’s counting?) so there is just NO chance I am going out to the garage and sifting thru the trash to find it.
*sigh*
Good thing it was only $100…I wonder if the state will reissue if I call? Ah well. It’s not like $100 will buy you anything any more…it most certainly wouldn’t buy the “Mandatory School Supplies” - which included a laptop computer (Thank GOD they decided that having a MacBook wasn’t a requirement, like they were originally thinking!).
Anyway, there ya have it…Stoopid Human Tricks.
Good job! Silly.
Just getting around to updating.
Called the state of Texas regarding the ‘lost’ check - it’s like this 8 week process and paperwork and requires me to go to the court house here locally and ’swear’ in front of a judge and have a judge sign a paper…
…ugh.
No thanks.
It’d cost me $100 in lost time (srsly) just to do that. Not worth it.
