i was just farting around in my room, looking through old boxes and stuff. i come across some old paycheck stubs from toys r us...one of them still had a check attached! for 200 bucks! WTFFFFFFFFF.
of course, the check expired in october. so. :Smug:
goddamn.

Sucks.

I had a dream last night that I was playing some stupid bingo game at the Mobil station on Adams and Indiana, and my quarter turned into $1,000 cash in like 30 seconds. I was on my phone and I said "dude I just got a shitload of cash now I gotta go" and was all excited because I could pay off my taxes from this year, but NO it was a dream.

 

[Demilich]

can't you apply to get it renewed? i was able to call payroll and get them to send me a new one when that happened to me.

This reminds me of the time I sweated all the ink off of a $100 check from my 7th grade teacher. Damn Midwestern summer weather.

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

*whew*
i've been talking to some middle aged, well experienced folks and it indeed seems it shouldn't be a problem to get the check reissued.

I MAY WIN AFTERALL!

 

[Mormagil]

Can I have $100 to make up for the check I ruined?

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

you'll have to take that up with your teacher
and perhaps do naughtier things for it than you had to then.

[cthulufhtagn]

call 'em up, same thing happened to me once!

 

[lizard]

I'll guarantee you, I am scatterbrained and all, but I've got an encyclopedic knowledge of every fucking paycheck I've ever gotten

 

[Erik]

I think it's funny how you backwards yanks actually STILL USE PAPER CHECKS IN THE 21st CENTURY?!?!

I mean christ, wake up and smell the coffee that's been in the pot so long it's just some black smelly goo stuck to the bottom

well, its been a long time since I've seen a paper check. I've probably been using direct deposit for eight years.

 

[Erik]

Cool, I'm just going on prejudices as usual

Though I gather that checks and money orders and antique shit like that is still used a lot in the US, as evidenced by loads of eBay auctions and such that want payment in money orders... Money orders are pretty much impossible to receive/send in most of Europe... We just don't use them.

 

[lizard]

my first few years of work I refused to get direct deposit 'cause I had some irrational fear that a computer would fry and my pay would vanish into the ether. but since I signed up I've never had a problem. I have no doubt you're right about americans and their outmoded paper; the banks try and push automated everything cause they save money that way, but they still charge us for everything!!

fucking bankers.

Word >_<

 

[Thanatopsis123]

fucking jews.

Fixed.


Had to.

 

[lizard]

I knew someone would.

man if I could create a list of people who do nothing but leech off of the working man, it would be

bankers
insurance companies
women looking for sugar daddies
