much to my surprise

i stayed an extra two hours at work and still have extra days piled up around me in my office, but then, i find the little note on the door that reminds me that as friendly and welcome homie the office people are when you first arrive, it's a cutthroat world in this capitalistic country and surprise, I forget to drop off the rent check this month. Unfortunately, years of electronic payments (I ha dnot written a check in ages before moving in here) have spoiled me... and possibly cost me $81... and the gym was packed at 7:30pm, so i did not get there yet...

I went down to drop off the check and the sign says they will not accept my check now, they will only accept a cashier's check or a money order... perhaps they think that by making a person jump through hoops, they will not forget the next month... as banks are not open and i'm not sure where i'd find a place that would accept a money order paid for by credit card at this hour, i am trying a different tact... i'll let you know tomorrow if it worked :)

I hope you had more pleasant surprises in your day :)
