@ juliette funny story yours, if it were not that you feel hurt.

Few pearls of wisdom from an old hand at leaving and being left.

Being friends after: if he is a nice guy why not. If he is not forget it. More tears in it.
Revenge is a bitter sweet thing dish. It should be eaten cold.
Us men hate two things. Exposure to ridicule and being ignored.

try this. Get (or hire for what it matters) a really nice looking guy, younger, stronger but willowy, sharp dressed in a classy and hidden extra rich way. Bi sex would be the absolute best. And have him escort you adoringly where your ex hangs out.

Spoiler:

Be prepared to freeze him if he finds the guts to show a sign of life.

plan B. exactly like plan A, but just enjoy your new find.

Yes, in this case no friends would be the more reasonable path

and revenge will come, just not with the male excorts. He's that thick! (Karma is working for me, anyway)

Check account today, no pay. Called up, played 'pass the phone call' and learned that they will not direct deposit for someone who no longer works for the state, it's a different procedure.
Then were is our money? Seems the person doing the checks is on jury duty.
I want our money.
Here it is, want to pick it up?
NO, it's over a 3 hour drive there, why would I do your work for you?
Should we mail it?
Well, DUH, yes.
OK, it will be certified mail, so it will take about 3-4 days, then you'll have to take the notice you get to the post office to actually pick up the check.
How about you freeze your next paycheck for a month and see how you feel? I don't care if it is the comptroller's fualt, my husband did the work, and you need to get us our money. Thankfully he is away from working for the state, and this isn't likely to entice him BACK to teaching in a youth facility in the near future.

By the time his check comes in I'l have my next (and last) pay from my last job. Understand, he hasn't gotten paid by them since the end of JUNE, and the new job doesn't pay until late SEPTEMBER.

I love the "Check is in the mail" excuses! While I was working at a university on a federally funded program, I was mailed monthly paychecks. One month - no check. So ... Phone calls, pass the phone, tip-toe from the bursar to the mail room to the accounting clerk, etc.... Finally gave up for the day. Next day I got my check in the mail postmarked yesterday's date -- the envelope had a huge coffee mug stain on it -- apparently someone had been using it as a coffee mug coaster to protect their desk! I took the envelope back to the bursar's office and asked the secretary to return it to whoever was missing their coaster!

Who's stupid idea at Amazon was it that decided that an accidentally closed account can not be re-opened?

You shouldn't call people stupid.
It hurts their feelings.
They don't like being reminded that they're stupid.
That's why they form stupid special interest groups and vote.
Stupid people are to be nurtured and given every chance to thrive.
Because someday they will return to the trees and leave the rest of us alone.
Remember, the stupid person you help today may be the parent of the pet you'll own tomorrow.

If I thought I could get away with it, I would print that out and laminate it to hang on my office wall...

and for the record a strict reading will reveal that PB called the idea stupid, not the person.

Nice to see you are getting with the program, Kenny.
Making believe stupid ideas don't come from stupid people.
When the time comes, you get the pick of the litter!

Truly poetic & accurate & optimistic! Bravo!

You know, someone with an actual computer should be collecting these little gems into ebook form before I become famous.
Or get myself lynched.
