I'm grumpy. I had a thing I was hoping for, and it didn't happen. *sulks* Namely, they didn't deposit my check!!! And if they mailed it (which they shouldn't have, since I signed up for direct deposit weeks ago) I don't know when it'll arrive. Certainly not before we leave tonight.

I've called payroll, but no one answered. *angst*

EDIT: If I have no cash, I'm really rethinking my stance on pirates and PA.

EDIT II: The bursar finally called my back in regards to my new and exciting $5000 bill I received in the mail on Tuesday. The letter was generated before my health insurance waiver kicked in (though I waived it back in July) and before my tuition remission was applied to my courses. That's a relief.

But I still want my paycheck.

EDIT III: And, as an example of true loss, Madeleine L'Engle died last night. (You'll have to scroll down to read her 3 lines of text.)

EDIT IV: I now have my check. They put it into my departmental mailbox (as ladyscience said, they needed this paycheck to prove I'm human or whatever--though that fact would have been nice to know earlier) this morning. However, before I went down to check it before coming home for lunch, another one of the grad students grabbed my check instead of his own (our mailboxes are right next to each other). So, I get downstairs, no check in my box even though other people have them, assume it's been direct deposited in my account, arrive home, and freak. Fortunately, the other kid realized he had my check and brought it back to the Anderson House, and Shirley, our secretary, called me to let me know.

PA is still a go, and I don't have to light the planet on fire. In all, good.

:/ I'm sorry to hear that and completely sympathize with you. Just keep calling; you're bound to get through sometime! Unless payroll doesn't work on Fridays... which is far-fetched for any company.

Jeeze... i'm just glad he brought it back. Some people wouldn't be sure what to do. (How, I don't know, but I suppose it happens).

Btw...

LOL. Sadness.

Weird. I don't think those numbers are right, but... ok.

Also, I would totally take the internet over sex if I had to choose one or the other. Thank God, I don't have to.

Your first couple paychecks may not be done via direct deposit. They may give you actual checks to deposit in the bank to make sure you're a Real Live Person (tm). They did that to us at UMass when I started 400 million years ago.

But they haven't given me one.

Then it might be in the mail. :-(

or it might be in your department mailbox, wherever that is.

FYI - I used to get statements like every month or so from Clark, even though I had a promissory note and stuff and had already been cleared to pay at the end of the semester. So, they like to send out lots of bills ;)

I found out about Madeleine L'Engle yesterday the the co-op and I had to fight not to cry. She was the author who made me love reading. I owe a lifetime of magic and wonder to her. I mourn her passing this day.

that's sad. I loved those books... although the later ones did get a bit weird.
