Post in here about strokes of luck, things that have gone right or occured exactly when you needed them to do so, but unexpectedly!
This never happens to me! A stroke of serendipity . . .
I was wondering what I would have to shift around financially in order to make it until payday. I hate to be late on bills, and I'm at the beginning of getting about $1,000 worth of work done on my teeth over the next year, so my last check pretty much went out as soon as it came in.
I got a phone call from a former long-term, part-time job, asking if I lost my last paycheck and needed another reissued.
Well, how much is it for, I enquired. I haven't seen such a check. I always had direct deposit. It was a paper check?
Yes, they replied. And it was sent in the mail a couple of months ago.
So, scrambling around in the random piles of mail I keep meaning to recycle, I find an envelope that looks like the deposit notices I always used to get after my direct deposit had gone through. I knew what those were and mostly ignored them, but didn't want to throw them away or recycle them because of the personal information they ususally contain. I usually collect a goodly number of them and shred them.
Thank god it was still in there.
$931.08.
My bank account balance is about $7.00 right now.
I need to go to the bank.
YAY ME!
