Well someone has a sense of humor
Evidently AmerUs, the company I had life insurance with from when I was a wee lad so the payoff would offset the loss of a tax deduction in the event of my untimely demise, demutualized recently. Everyone in the mutual fund got paid off as it went down, and my cut would take a big chunk out of the Portugal trip.
Except I didn’t get the check. Business is (obviously) closed for the day, so I’ll have to call tomorrow and extract my vengeance.
So how did I find out? Simple. I just got the 1099-B so I can get taxed for the income i never received.
UPDATE: After a conversation with a particuarly dim call center staffer the check is being reproduced and remailed.

About this weblog
This is mainly an expository blath, with occasional high-level excursions, humorous observations, rants, and musings. The main-line exposition should be accessible to the “Generally Interested Lay Audience”, as long as you trace the links back towards the basics. Check the sidebar for specific topics (under “Categories”).
I’m in the process of tweaking some aspects of the site to make it easier to refer back to older topics, so try to make the best of it for now.
