Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

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.

And I had a minute of joy when I thought it was a month when I would get paid 3 times

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.

Punishingly Intricate

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Who else here gets paid once a 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.)

Who else here gets paid once a month?

Me. I find it way too difficult to budget.

It took me a few years to get used to it. Now I have a rough sense as to how much money I should have at any point in the month.
