I Didn't Stay at a Holiday Inn Express...

...because today I got a heck of a surprise, and liked it! I took on a new job after school three weeks ago, and expected most of the pay from the contract to be disbursed on the back end of our summer checks. Instead, today I received retro pay as if I was supposed to have been receiving it all along and they just didn't get around to paying me until this week. Nothing like receiving half your salary up front for a job you've barely started, especially when you thought it wasn't going to come through until mid-June!
