I just got off the phone with the post office. I went to my mailbox today and saw what I thought was my free gummint money (ie, my “economic stimulus payment” from the IRS). Well, it turned out to be another person’s check entirely. For some reason my forwarding mail address label got slapped on this guy’s check. Questions of whether or not it’s a good thing to depend on government money aside, I really was looking forward to that cash (I have bills to pay and still no job). There’s no way to track whether or not my own check was sent to the right address — with my luck I’m guessing not, and it will take ages to make the trek through the bowels of the postal service before it gets into my hot little hands. So my economy remains unstimulated.
