Bad: I got a little sick today, and went home early from work.

Good: I'll get to see Monte tonight.

Bad: My paycheck still hasn't showed up. The one from the last half of November. It made it to my house, then Rick mailed it priority mail to here. It never got here.

Now when I deposit it, there is a five-day hold. So even if it got here *tomorrow*, with the holidays, the funds won't be available until after Christmas. And I have a buttload of bills to pay.
