I may have cheated myself out of four thousand dollars

Well, thanks to my own bad choices and laziness there is a good possibility that I will cheat myself out of four thousand dollars.

See, way back when I started with Walmart, I got a little bit of Walmart stock given to me by the company. When I stopped working for them I was supposed to get a payout - about 4 thousand dollars.

But due to a mix-up, they sent me a check - in the name of Dorothy.

Which isn't my legal name yet.

Which meant I couldn't cash the check

i have to try and get a hold of the company that ran the benefits package for Walmart, and hope like heck I can get this straightened out.

I'm extremely disappointed with myself, because this could have been avoided by my taking care of my name change when I had the chance.

So not my best day.
