The Check in the Mail
The other day, my husband came in with the mail. He told me that there was a check for me. I haven’t sent in any rebates lately, so I couldn’t figure that out. Sure enough - there was a check for me from a place that I didn’t recognize. I looked at the stub. It said February freelance. I looked at the envelope again. It sounded vaguely familiar. There was a website that I had sent a few little items to last spring, maybe that was it… I went to the site and was unable to get to any archives. I called the telephone number on the check. The bookkeeper had no idea. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate that I was paid for something, but I’d sure like to know what it was! Next, I tried the “contact us” on the site. I received an e-mail back right away. They had published a story in one of their print publications. They will send me the issue with the article. I don’t even know if this is a magazine or a newspaper.
When I had sent articles to their website it was done using an on-line form. So I have no e-mail trail to spark my memory. I consistently had trouble signing in on their site. Which was why I eventually gave up and forgot about it.
I’ll keep you posted.
