What makes going into work on a Sunday better?

Finding an AU '56 Roosie in your change from the Coke machine. ..

It's a cute little coin even though it's only worth 50 cents. And it's the little things in life that you have to appreciate. For the rest of the day I looked forward to getting home and putting the dime in a 2x2.

You shout in your sleep.
Perhaps the price is just too steep.
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
Just one man beneath the sky,
Just two ears, just two eyes.

    Coming home from a coin show (where in addition to buying a couple impressive coins and meeting a couple of the actual people behind the monikers on the PCGS message boards) you log onto one of your financial chat boards and come to find that the Associated Press has done an article on a small company that you hold 30,000 shares of stock in and the article is published in newspapers across the country.

    NOw, if I actually had a job, THAT would make going to work on Sunday BETTER!

    Nice find, it pays to be thirsty..... I've had some luck with coin changers at wand car washes. Some Sac. AU dollars and Kennedys

    Knowing that my job is helping to track and hunt down scumbag narco-terrorists....
    "You keep your 1804 dollar and 1822 half eagle -- give me rainbow roosies in MS68."
