On the Check Divide

If You Can't Beam 'Em ...

Depending on which non-profit or financial firm provides your hard-earned paycheck, the pain associated with the arrival of the communal check can be daunting. The clear division between the have's and the have-not's is as glaring as the equal shares being overly-evenly distributed amongst the penny-conscious water-drinkers and the rose-colored wine connoisseurs, a habit the rest of us never bothered to perfect. My advice? Join em, and spend the rest of your week enjoying bagged lunches reminiscent of childhood peanut-butter-and-ritz-crackers and fruit punch juice boxes fit best for someone saving the world, one weak paycheck at a time. Enjoy!
