Mine too. I like it better than every other week.
Yeah, I thought I wouldn't, but I've realized that it makes budgeting so much easier. Of course, it helps that my first check is roughly rent+bills+1/2 of my monthly cash budget. That leaves the second check for debt, savings, and the other 1/2 of my cash budget. Shorter months means I have a bit more cash on a weekly basis, which is nice.
My pay days are the 15th and last day of the month
Same. I really hate that my credit card bill needs to be paid a little over a week after I pay rent.
In other news, OH MY GOD, people, stop sending me work! I officially have Too Much To Do.

Some credit card companies will let you change the due date as a one-time courtesy....
I like getting paid. Period.
I actually find it easier to budget, but that's only because the paycheck hits a few days before a bunch of the biggest required monthly expenses.
I wish this were the case. We get paid on the 5th, which is 5 days after rent is due. And with LAUSD, no one is ever positive that they will get paid, correctly or not.

Ouch. Mine's on the 25th, which makes all the difference (and which imo is one of the best nobody-really-thinks-about-it bennies the looniversity does).
Man, I thought I was having trouble getting shit done this morning, but then I had a burrito for lunch, and all I can think now is naaap!
I think it's time to start looking for a new job for next year. My thoughts on it are: maybe an elementary classroom instead and one near where Grace is? Maybe a high school classroom? I'm tired of the middle school vibe (where in I am the Bouncer or the Day Care Provider) But mostly, I'm tired of my commute.
Now there's something that doesn't happen every day....
Eyeball accidentally delivered to hotel guest
An eyeball on its way from Queensland, Australia to Hobart for transplant was accidentally delivered to a random hotel guest instead. A spokesperson for the Australian Air Express shipping company stated that the error was a "failure in an internal handover process." The eyeball was recovered and successfully transplanted. From The Courier-Mail:
Hotel worker Gabriel Winner - who requested the name of the hotel not be used - says the agitated guest brought the esky to reception early yesterday morning.
``The guy left.. me with a box with an eyeball in it,'' he said.
``He got the box and signed for it and opened it in the middle of the night.
``I thought this is just too weird. I went and put it in the fridge because I didn't know what else to do with it. It was more than a little disconcerting.''
I have officially seen it all now: Probably NSFW
