Funny things we do out of desperation

I was late paying our newspaper bill. I was just going to cancel it, but my Unemployment came through. So with the bill I wrote them a note, "Sorry this is late. I lost my job and haven't been able to pay this until now because I just received my Unemployment check with your second late notice. I'm enclosing a copy of my resume. Perhaps there's a job there I might be qualified for? I thought it would be worth a shot asking. Thanks, Jen".
They called today to schedule an interview! Crazy, just crazy is all I could think.
