So last week I got paid and my check was SHORT! I called finance to see what happened and when I could expect my money (which I already knew in my mind better be in the next 24 hours). Anyway, due to a new system, and the complexity of my two different job titles and how I get paid for them (which I’ve been doing for over a year, so people should have a clue by now) he could not figure something out and said they would pay me on the next check.……………PAUSE…….HOLD UP….STOP THE PRESSES……AND WAIT A MINUTE…..I lost my cool AND all the Christian values I’ve been learning over the past few years. My faith got shut down and the gangster rose up. I demanded that I get a call within the next few hours telling me that my check was ready for me to come pick it up. I called my boss and told her the situation and let her know I’m flexible on many things, but when it comes to my money that I worked hard for…. “I AIN’T FLEXIBLE”…..Long story short I picked the check up that day and I had to laugh at myself on the way because God ain’t done with me yet!
P.S. I forgot to mention my check was $535 short? Can you blame me for losing myself in the moment? LOL

Girl...sometimes you have to let people know you have a little crazy in you.
I hate to bring out the crazy too...but the crazy me SOMEHOW motivates people to act right.

For that amount of money I might have lost my "religion " too-lololol- just kidding, Glad you didn't have to step too much out of that loving and lovely charactor of yours..but I certainly understand. I'm a recovering sinner too..We all are and we have to take our journey one day at a time.
