Last winter we worked at a Christmas tree lot with our friends. It was very hard work, having to lug all those trees around, keeping them watered, fluffing them out, standing them up, tying onto people’s cars, etc. Our last day working there was Christmas Eve. When we received our last paychecks, each of us was shorted 13 hours pay. Our friend, Lynda, who was the manager of the lot, called the owner of the company several times, and sent several e-mails, with no result. I also called several times, and sent several e-mails, and then just decided to write it off, and call it one more business owner who took advantage of a traveling gypsy employee.
Well, guess what? On Friday, this was in the mail!
It only took, what? almost 10 months for him to pay us? At least he did, but we won’t be selling Christmas trees again. Ever.
Better late than never, but sheesh! (Glad you got paid).
Usually when money comes in like that it sometimes is exactly the amount you needed to pay something. Did it happen to you?
Timing is everything, enjoy it.
Have a good week. What are you doing this winter?

Well it's about time.
