I've decided that I am on strike today.
What's the strike about?
Oz is the highest-scoring person ever to fail to graduate.
Willow ,'Him'
Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
They effed up my paycheck again and basically, I didn't get paid for 2 days.
Open the gates and sieze the day. Don't be afraid and don't delay. Nothing can break us, no one can make us, give our rights away.....Arise! and sieze the day!
I'ma call Christian Bale to help me strike.

That sucks. The strike sounds like a good plan.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
erika, I had to explain the meaning of the large fish in the pinball game. "That's the Big Pussy hallucination fish."

What is even happening?
Aimee, I think you ought to grab your boss by the hand, and walk him or her down to payroll or Human Resources, or chief-secretary-in-charge and refuse to leave or let your boss go, until they (a) cut a check for the money they owe you; (b) prove to you that your checks will no longer be subject to these ridiculous errors; and (c) give you some comp time for your trouble.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Aimee, as an HR person, I will second Cindy's suggestion. Payroll doesn't like to cut manual checks, but that doesn't mean that payroll can't cut manual checks.
erika are you familiar with this blog: Ragged Edge Magazine?
Sample paragraph:
It's Tiny Tim time again, and it's not as if I'm running around expecting to like the stereotypes of disability that I see on TV or the stereotypes of disability I run into every day. Maybe that's why, despite the fact that public images of autism are never really anything but infuriating, I turned off the TV last Thursday more pissed off than I had been when I turned it on. That and the fact that I'd been rooting for Randal for awhile, and suddenly I found myself hoping he'd fail miserably.

HR has already cut me 2 manual checks.
The initial Direct Deposit that didn't go through on 12/15? I got the check YESTERDAY.
I got another manual check 2 weeks ago when they screwed up.
I will have another one before I leave today.
