Your EQ is 153

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out “Dr. Phil-ed” Dr. Phil… or you're a dirty liar.

Who says there's no such thing as a free lunch?

So…

I had to go to the Post Office today to priority mail a claim to my Flexible Spending Account administrator, PeopleFirst, so that I had confirmation that the envelope at least made it to Tallahassee. They have a nickname (as far as my being able to denote a nickname is concerned): PeopleWorst. They suck. I faxed claims to them back in January (one month ago today, to be exact) and the claims have neither shown up in their records, nor have they been paid. My Human Resources group is presently looking into the matter - apparently I'm not the first complainant with a complaint of this nature.

Anyhow…

While I was at the Post Office, filling out the envelope, a guy tapped me on the shoulder to show me the $3 I had dropped on the floor. The money was not there when I stepped up to the counter, and I tend to operate cashless, relying, instead, on the instant flow of ones and zeroes called debit and credit transactions - so the money wasn't mine. But I picked it up anyhow, since no one else was around. I placed it on the counter where I was working, in open view, and left it there for the five minutes it took me to fill out the envelope. Everyone inside the line in the post office had changed by the time I was done, so I figured the cash was mine, and took it.

Combine the $3 I found at the post office, along with the “Free” sandwich coupon from Quizno's, and voila…

Instant free lunch.
