pleasant surprise

[alphachiohmy]

So, I am feeling a little down and out. Having no money to my name until I start work in a week at a new job in Chicago, when I get a phone call today.

The woman on the phone says "Hi, I am calling from the Post-Dispatch (where I interned last spring) and we have two paychecks of yours that we located in the newsroom. Can you come by and pick them up?"

I was there in 25 minutes. It's 19 miles exactly from my house.

Ohh, I am so excited. Rhonda is not broke anymore, and she can pay bills and have a little money for some fun this weekend with friends.

Hope you all have some pleasant surprises waiting for you, too. Have a good weekend!

Congrats on extra cash! I'm hoping for a surprise this weekend as well. Nothing huge but my boy has mentioned that there is something he's not telling me yet.

Lucky you! Doesn't it feel great!? It's like digging out your winter coat to find a $20 bill in the pocket you forgot about - I love when that happens!

Makes you wonder why they waited so long to call you if they had your phone number, lol! Also, there is an old invention called the Telephone Book that has addresses, lol.

Congrats and glad you didn't move.
