Shouldn't "get the money to the person who earned it ASAP" be the default setting, not the special circumstance that warrants a heads-up?
You would think, especially this time of year. I would complain to GoodBoss.
I would be there right now.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

the debt will outlive me by decades
Not having kids, the thought of creditors fruitlessly howling at my funeral gives me twisted joy. You can have my money when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
JZ, love, all my sympathies -- and know that it does (painfully slowly and sometimes almost imperceptibly, but really truly does) get better as you keep chipping away at it. Money worries? Biggest suck I know. But you'll make it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Not having kids, the thought of creditors fruitlessly howling at my funeral gives me twisted joy.
Lucky. (Step-)Having one and hoping for another, that thought fills me with suffocating dread.
Also, I'm so tired of having this exact same flip-out every single month. This month, I fucked myself over by buying two pairs of shoes, three sweaters and some new tights, practically the first new stuff since the wedding 19 months ago. I feel so gigantically incompetent, that I'm living so close to the edge that three sweaters puts me over a barrel, and so guilty about possibly fucking up Hec and Emmett too.
At least I have their Christmas presents already, paid for free and clear and with real money, not credit, so there's that.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm still waiting for a design fee I should've received Nov 18.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You'll also need to outlive the hubby, won't you, Connie?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
JZ--I am so there with you. We are chipping away at our debt bit by bit, but lots of stuff I used to do--go out to dinner, buy anything but drugstore cosmetics, go on vacations not to family, is pretty much out of the question. You WILL get out of it, but I know the monthly struggle just wears a person down.

Oooh, who is going to post pictures?
msbelle, in case you didn't see earlier, I got mail. And it smells lovely. Thank you. The pumpkin is the identical scent to some candles I got as a gift 3 years ago and adored and then couldn't find anywhere (so I kept remelting dregs.) YAY!
