Yeah, well, wait till you hear the rest of the story. I do not believe in divine anything but sometimes...

Before I went to work this morning I got in the computer to check my email. Then, as I sometimes do, I checked the Government Liquidation website to look at the local auction items. I knew there was an auction closing soon. Well, the auction was not closed yet and there were two lots that included desks and office furniture. On impulse I threw a minimum bid at them.

When I got home this afternoon I checked my email again and had a notice from the website that I had won the bid. I will soon be the proud possessor of a large wooden desk, a small bookcase, a computer hutch, and a bulletin board.

My bid? $50.
