Good day
Okie, Friday morning...
Im working, had a cup of coffee, taking care of customers(i work at dunkin donuts *is shunned* ).
I was hyped up(dont usually drink coffee but i did that morning)
It was SOOO busy(the lines curl around the store and out the door)
But it felt great, i was getting through customers really fast, like every 10 seconds you hear me screaming "CAN I HELP THE NEXT CUSTOMER!".

It was also PAYDAY (YAY!) so i was also happy about that because i was poor as hell, paid bills and i spent $85 on groceries while my bf helped out and bought $40 worth of groceries because i didn't have that much in my bank account.

So i got my paycheck which wasn't really as much as i expected... but it would do to last me for a while.


SOOOOOOOOooooo......

I get off of work i have my check in my pocket and head over to the bank with my bf to deposit it.

BAD DAY
I get to the bank and i look for my check in my pocket but it wasn't there.....
I start freaking out saying "okay, maybe its in my jacket pocket instead" but it wasn't.

Me and my bf retraced our steps, last time i remember taking it out was outside of dunkin Donuts.... OUTSIDE!... meaning it could be on the street somewhere.
We make it back to Dunkin donuts and there were street cleaners outside the store.... Oh god i thought in my head that it was probably long gone now since they had one of those big machines with brushes at the bottom of them to sweep the streets.

I literally started to cry.
Because:
~My manager couldn't cancel it and write me another check until 2 months later.
~ I was NEGATIVE in my bank account. (-$ )
~ I was so SCREWED, this would mean i would literally have NO money for the next 2 WEEKS
~ I asked my manager for more hours meaning now i work 6 days a week, monday is the only day i have off from work but i have school in the morning.... SO 2 WEEKS OF WORK WASTED!!!
~I wanted to buy my bf a 360 or a Ripstik as a late b-day gift/anniversary gift.

My bf tried to make me feel better, and said he'd give me some money to last me, but i didn't want it... it wasn't the same. He only works 2 days a week and he needs that money and i couldn't take it.

So i walked back home crying, feeling like a complete idiot losing the check like that.

Once i got home i started my animation homework which is a real pain in the ass for me because lately i cant animate and it gets annoying because there is so much more i want to do or need to do (i gotta finish commissions/falling behind... AGAIN!)

GOODDAY
Then my manager calls me (which is a surprise)
this is the first time i've ever been happy that my manager called me (because she can be a real bitch sometimes).
She told me that a woman (one of the street cleaners) found my check and took it to the bank.
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! What are the odds of that?!
You have no idea on how fricking happy i was i started to cry again lol.
I just couldn't believe it.

So hell yeah, i rushed over to the bank, got my check back and i wish i could find the street cleaner to thank her for finding it instead of throwing it away (it was all folded up so if i saw it on the ground i'd probably think it was a piece of garbage)

So there is my day on Friday...


LONG STORY SHORT
Was having a good day at work
Got my paycheck
Lost my paycheck
Someone found my paycheck
Peace is once again restored

THE END
