Timesheets at the end of the pay period, paid the following Friday.
Yep, me too. I think we were doing this even before we started direct deposit, so there was no traumatic switch of pay dates. My rent is due the first but not counted late until after the fifth; if yours is the same, you could inform your landlord, and then mail your check on the fourth (if it'll get there in time). Unless you have fear that the paycheck won't clear, you should be fine.

Yeah, they count it late on the fourth or fifth (I forget the exact amount late I can be).
I was all in a good mood today until my lunch break, when:
1) The owner of the comic shop bitched at me in pointless fashion as if I were one of his slacking gamer friends who hang around all day to play halo. Dude, I'm not your buddy, I'm a paying customer. And only that because a friend of mine works behind the counter.
2) The cashier at the supermarket's only express checkout lane snotted at me that it was for valentines only, forcing me to
3) take my cooling roasted chicken and warming yogurt to one of the full cart lines, where I ended up behind the Crazy Cat Lady. Who bought $74 worth of cat food, ONE. CAN. AT. A. TIME.
I remember standing on top of that snowbank with a shovel, staring down at the roof of my car, thinking, "You have got to be fucking kidding me."
If that happened to me, I'd just stay put until summer, I swear. The Presidents' Day storm a few years back had me losing my mind. Snow as tall as my car!

Let me tell you, it really sucks to start a new job and get no paycheck for three weeks. Everything had to go on the credit card, since I'd been mostly cleaned out by rent and deposits. And I had no bed! Didn't wait for that paycheck to get Devi, though. Priorities, heh.
We get paid about two weeks after the end of the pay period. For example: this payperiod ends tomorrow - we'll get paid for it on the 28th. And we'll get paid for the next payperiod on March 15th.

WTF is this bullcrap?

You have GOT to be kidding! That's just...just... I have no words for how INSANE that is!

A valentine's ONLY lane?
What? What the -- WHAT? AUGH.

Huh. Now I don't feel so bad.
If it's really a hassle, can you choose to get paid by check on payday rather than via the so-called convenience of direct deposit?
(I've also waited three weeks for a paycheck. Oh, that was no fun. And then the day I got paid my ATM card didn't work and I couldn't deposit the check...I cried to the bank lady.)
