Everyone loves payday. This is a fact. I would even go so far as to say there are few treats that compare to someone handing you a check when you didn't even know it was payday.

What I cannot understand is: Why do people tear up their envelopes as soon as they get it as though it is restricting their check? Will the dollar figure swell given room to breathe? You worked 80 hours this pay period. You worked 80 hours the previous pay period. Guess what, you worked 80 hours the pay period before that. You know how much money you make. You know how much that check is made out for. So WHY, I ask you, do you feel compelled to open it as soon as you get it? You've worked for at least a few years now. This is not the first pay check you've received. Yes it is real. I do not need to open each one for you to tell you the check is legitimate.

I just don't get it.
