One small step for my checkbook...

It shouldn't feel like such a big deal, but I always have this feeling that a new job isn't really mine until I get my first paycheck.

Now that my first paycheck has come, I feel like it's real. Is that silly?

Now I just need a few more checks like this, so I can dig out of the hole created by things like the four-figure plumbing bill accumulated in this (and last) month's multiple furnace repairs.
