Good News and Bad News

So I got a letter from the labor commission. I got the letter today but it may have arrived on Friday or Saturday and my old apartment just brought it to me today.
Here is the bad news first. This is the Labor Commissions last attempt to get my money, so if he doesn't pay within 30 days there is nothing more that they are going to do.
Here is the good news he has a fine of $3600 which is the 5% of what he owed me for 20 days. Half of that fine is going to go to me as interest for him not paying. It is a wonderful thing to find out that you are going to get $1800 more than what you were expecting. I am not sure exactly what is going to happen in 30 days when he doesn't pay, but at the same time I don't see where that is my problem.
For those of you in Provo I might be spending more time at your place so that if my boss hunts me down there are witnesses as to what happens. For those of you not in Provo pray that he will be rational about this and not get upset and take it out on me that he is losing his business and possibly go to prison (not just for not paying me but also for tax evasion because he hasn't paid taxes on his employees.
Just thought you would appreciate an update as to what is going on.

good, you deserve extra pay, though I don't know if $1800 is enough to make up for the ill effects his not paying you has had on your credit. I will be praying for you. You can always hide out here if you are really scared. We have an extra bed.
