Got My Stimulus Check
Thursday, May 22, 2008

After work, I went to the ATM to checkmy account, and to my surprise, I found an extra $600 dollars. It turned out that my economic stimulus check had arrived earlier this week according to the notice that mailed to me that I later found this evening. I was expecting to get the money as early as next week but not this early. Either way, it was a good end to a pretty good day. Work was busy but productive and we didn't have any of our sites go down from a web attack.

Now, I'm trying to decide if I want to put the money in my savings or actually go out and buy something that'll make me happy. It's actually a wonderful problem to have. Either way I go, I eventually win.

Money in My Car
Sunday, May 18, 2008

So, I decided to "deep clean and sanitize" my car today. I try to do this once a year to collect all the loose change in my car and then take the them to the CoinStar machine at Albertson. Then I usually buy something techie at BestBuy or Amazon.com. If I can't find anything techie, the money will go towards my beer fund.

Judging from what I found, I'm pretty sure there was more than ten dollars in my car. I'll post back the exact amount after I do my deposit to the CoinStar.
