Out of my ears

Today I got a text message, actually three in a row, at 7 a.m. on my mobile phone. My They Might Be Giants "Telephone" ringtone had Wes and I fumbling for my phone.

HSBC, my bank here, lets me know whenever something happens to my account. This message was letting me know a large deposit was made.

"OH, I got paid today. Cool."

When I got to work it hit me that it was the end of the month, and indeed, it was time for my monthly pay.

Even cooler was the brown little envelope I got today that repaid my expenses from our move and visa processing. Instead of a check it's all cash.

Me: I feel like I just got paid off by the mob.
Co-worker: Everyone should get paid like this! It's amazing. Look at my giant envelope full of cash.
