Mar. 5th, 2005 02:07 pmJust got back from Philly where we took 16 students on a week-long service trip then got deluged by the blizzard. Opened my mail and panicked when I found a check in there for SIXTY FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS. Am very worried, since the bank will not be open til Monday, and I tend to lose my mail. I made Dick put it in a lockbox--I don't trust the school safe, even, because Jesus Christ, I've never had more than two thousand dollars at any one time before. And while I know intellectually that I won't be accessing this money in the next thirty years, the fact that I suddenly have something to fall back on is, frankly, pretty fucking exhilarating.
There's a whole saga here. Which I will tell at another time. Just now I am off to the library to try to get out of paying my fines because despite the Sixty Fucking Thousand Dollars, I'm still living on a below-the-poverty-line income and I am le cheap. Maybe today in celebration of the SFTD I'll just pay up without complaining.
I really need an icon that says "Holy Shit" or something to that effect.
