Benefits worth enjoying

I have the best benefits anybody could have, I thoroughly enjoy them. I make two easy payments every month of close to $300 and it's awesome. Today I found out that due to human error, the payment for my wicked benefits hasn't been withdrawn from my check since February, which is when I signed up for them. Now I'll get to make eight additional easy payments of $175.00. I'm going to enjoy this.

I used to work for FedEx and their benefits were nowhere near $600 a month, and I didn't enjoy them very much either.

Now this is my own stupid fault because I trusted that the payment would be withdrawn from my check once I signed on. I shouldn't have been so naive. I was told it's my fault and I should've been inspecting each check to make sure that someone was doing their job. True. From now on I will do this for everything.
The next time I go see a movie I will walk upstairs to make sure the projectionist starts the movie on time. The next time I take my car in for an oil change I'll make sure the mechanic fills my car with fresh oil instead of ranch dressing. I think that's why Wal-Mart now has self-checkout lanes, too many people complained about there being too many mistakes when going shopping. If you want something done right you have to do it yourself.
So, I've decided to get a part-time job with my insurance so I can take out my own payment, plus I'll make some extra money to pay for the additional easy payment of $175 twice a month.
