I won’t mention any names, but one of the people who lives in our house that isn’t me and who faithfully takes out the garbage every Wednesday….. accidentally dumped the wrong “basket” into the garbage and so we lost about a week and a few days worth of mail. It was totally an accident, and although I was a little mad at him at first, it’s really not fair to be mad… so now I’m just worried. 

I know for sure there was an important tax assessment document in it, because that’s what I was going to look for to talk with him about when I noticed their was no paper/documents/mail in the basket anymore. I know there were probably some bills – definitely our student loans and mortgage bill were, but I’m not worried about those as I already paid the student loans and the mortgage is the same every month. I’m also pretty sure our garbage bill was in there which is always $38.75 a quarter.

Anyway I’m writing this post for advice. What should I do? I need to recover that tax assessment document – I suppose I could call the assessment office? And I guess I have to go onto online bill pay and see where I’m at with my timing? I depend soooo much on my paper bills as my reminders, its just my old-fashioned system mixed with new-fangled Quicken and Online bill pay.

Any advice???? aaaaaaaah…..

(Oh, and don’t mention it to brian if you see him, he feels bad enough as it is. The point of this isn’t to complain about my husband, but just to get advice on a procedure to find out what i’ve lost… if it’s possible.)
