I've found myself in a humbling situation. With my new job lined up in the Fall, I knew I'd still have to make some sort of income this summer to make ends meet, so I did some substituting back in May and recently some EFY sessions. The sub system pays direct deposit on the 25th of every month, so when I looked this morning and found that this very substantial, life-sustaining deposit had never been made, I began to panic. Turns out, they did send a check, but to a completely random address in Draper! The payroll office has canceled the check, and will send me another one, to my real address, but they won't be able to get to it for 3 weeks or so. In the meantime, I have $20 to my name!! I AM GOING TO DIE!!
Ok but really, it could be a fun character-building experience, seeing how it feels to live from paycheck to paycheck, having bills that you have no idea how you'll pay. Looks like I'll be donating a lot of plasma this month!!

Sad! Unfortunately, I understand completely. Adam's previous job used to forgot to send his paychecks on a semi-regular basis, and his current job hasn't paid us yet because they only have one pay perdiod a month. I have a strong testimony of the importance of tithing! Heavenly Father helps everything to work out.
hooray for selling plasma! yeah, I feel your pain, but hey isn't it great to know that the lord sometimes puts us through tough spots, than suddenly everything works out.
If you ask really nice maybe my roommate Joey will cook dinner this week and invite you over, seriously.
Good luck with selling plasma, they wouldn't let me because my veins are too small. But I hear surrogate mothers get paid pretty well...just kidding.
Dang, I sure hope that everything turns out alright! :-S That sure is a stressful situation.
