 NB>>You lucked out, though... didn't get picked up, and got home safely... 

 DS> Thankfully. I had a nightmare when I got back home. The outside
 DS> storm door, which was UNLOCKED when I left, was LOCKED when I got
 DS> home...and there was NO KEY AVAILABLE. I had to yank hard on the door
 DS> several times to get it open, and nearly broke my wrist. When I can get
 DS> some money, I'm going to replace the key and lock in the door, instead
 DS> of the entire door.

Did the door lock itself somehow....?

 NB>> Were you paid by the hour...?  Sounds, too, like your system is a
 NB>> little different from ours.... 

 DS> Yep...in all cases where I worked. The one exception was when I
 DS> delivered an afternoon newspaper route in south Florida (that paper is
 DS> now long gone). I was paid by how many subscribers I had, and was paid
 DS> every 2 weeks. Now around Christmas time, I'd buy and send out signed
 DS> Christmas Cards to each customer. When I went to collect payment from
 DS> those who didn't "pay by mail", in some cases, they only owed $1.20
 DS> (10 cents a day for 6 days a week for 2 weeks -- there was no paper on
 DS> Sunday), they'd give me a $10 or $20 bill, and tell me to keep the
 DS> change!!

You had some generous customers there.... that obviously appreciated the
service you were providing them....
