You should have kept and framed it!

I don't recall what happened to my first payment for services rendered but it was for a bookstore in Arkansas in 1980 or 81 and it was paid in cash.

Fast forward: I took water damage a few years ago and all but one of my MVP certificates and MCP / MCSD documents were destroyed. Sigh.

>So I was digging though some junk I've had in my mom & dad's basement for like a zillion years (trying finding an old led zep album for my niece) and I find something I saved a long time ago. My first 'geek' paycheck stub. Mid-America Computing - I was 14 years old and it was a dec-vax mainframe. I think I went though 100 emotions and thoughts in just a few minutes. I finally decided to slip the stub back into my old Led Zep III album and carry it on to my niece. I doubt anyone else will find it for a while (it's between the jacket and cover..and who plays LP's anyway?).
