If money is what makes you richer then today I have become a richer man. I received a check today from a more than unexpected source and though the act of actually cashing it is what will increase my wealth…I think I shan’t. I believe I shall instead, indulge myself a good book and use that check as a bookmark…….
After a year and a half of Century Link demanding money they had already received I was taken aback to find today’s mail contained a check from Century Link. I didn’t get much of an explanation as to why it was sent so I’m thinking perhaps it’s a form of bribe in order that I don’t bad mouth them as much as I do. Now…I’m thinking that their thinking is sort of on the right track. What’s not on the right track is the amount of the “alleged” bribe. That’s because I have in my possession a check….with my misspelled name on it…. for ten cents. That’s 10% of a dollar…a dime…diez centavos. My father remembers when that was worth a cup of coffee….I myself remember it being worth a phone call. Now its worth a little story on a blog. Considering the man hours required to figure out the amount to send and top it off with the price a soon to be defunct postal service charges to deliver I’m thinking exact book keeping must be very important to someone. Hopefully that un cashed ten cent check will drive someone nuts.
