I boggle that for my accounting cycle, February is a 5 week month. I mean, WTF.
I know! And I had a minute of joy when I thought it was a month when I would get paid 3 times (it's an every two week cycle) but I'd misremembered when I'd gotten paid last. feh.
I
hate
being paid every two weeks. My brain refuses to make the adjustment from the last job, and I'm being passive aggressive about it and using that as my "excuse" for not having a clear budget. I should just suck it up and declare myself amnesty (like sara and her teeth) and start fresh for 2008.
There is a luncheon that will happen soon in my building. Nice sandwiches and fruit. But, they probably won't eat until 1 or 1:30, and I have to wait for them to be done before I scavenge, so I wouldn't be able to eat until 2:30 at the earliest, I'd think. Damn, gonna have to pay for lunch.

It technically is for me, but the big benefit is really from things skewing so that I pay February's rent out of my January 18th paycheck. And then have my whole Feb. 1 check to put toward credit card debt. Yay?
Yeah, I would have been screwed because of Christmas if I hadn't been paid three times this month. God looks out for fools and children.
Next time I get paid three times in a month is May...if I'm reading the calendar correctly. Nice! I'm planning on going out to CA at the end of that month I think.
Who else here gets paid once a month?
My pay days are the 15th and last day of the month
I get paid every Friday! Tom gets paid the 15th and the final business day of the month.
Gloomcookie - those are my paydays too!
When I first worked for the state - we got paid every other Friday - oh those lovely 3 paychecks a month times. . . oh well. (It inconvenienced Accounting and thus - went bye-bye.)
