My W-2 Story
Sorry, but I had to share this after reading your W-2 story, because I know how ya feel! Normally my W-2 would be here no later than maybe 02 or 03 Feb., but this year, I sat here until the afternoon of the 7th, wondering where the heck mine was. I contacted employer and was told they were sent out. Well, you know the government...ha! I finally received it yesterday, 7th, but it seems that my W-2 had a nice little trip, before it got to me.
Some dummy sent it to the wrong address to begin with, then that person mailed it to Central FLORIDA, for some ignorant reason. I live in Northeastern Georgia. From Florida it was mailed to another address...don't ask me why, I don't know....and from there it was yet again mailed to ANOTHER address. It was a temp address in Philadelphia! Thank goodness this lady had enough sense to actually look on the envelope and read the address..haha! She actually took the time to put the darn thing in an another envelope, addressed it to me, and then mailed it, buying the stamp to do so.... instead of returning it to DeCA, or somewhere else. Most people wouldn't have done that. They would have either returned it to DeCA, or would have thrown it in the garbage without a second thought!
When I received this envelope, finally, I thought it was more junk mail, as I had no idea of who lived in that Florida City, or in Philadelphia. I let it lay there for at least three or four hours before I opened it and came close to trashing it..ha! Imagine my shock to open this up and it was my darn W-2's!!! I couldn't believe it. And the lady even wrote me a nice little note on the outside of the envelope.
So, I plan to drop her a quick note and thank her! What she did went beyond the call of duty and I definitely appreciate it. I filed my taxes today and it is all done and out of the way!!!
Isn't that wild?
