Speaking of which, today is National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day.

We'll have to open a restaurant for that.

OK, both thorny payroll problems solved. At least, one of them is solved, and the other has been handed off to the proper HR person who has promised to have it fixed on Monday, when the "payroll change window" reopens. Yes, you can only make changes to payroll maybe half of the time, because otherwise the window is closed. Do I understand this? No. Do I accept it? More or less.

I feel like a large weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Now I'm going to quickly look through my work email, answer what I can, check work voicemail, and call it a good half day's work.

Art Crawl!!!

So, it's an actual window? And not the window of opportunity to get the paperwork done before the next payroll is run?

We had an odd payroll problem this time around that luckily (for me) turned out to be Not My Fault. Whew.

I'm sure it's the window of opportunity thing, sumi, since the times when it's closed are the days immediately after the 15th and the 30th/31st, when presumably they're scrambling to get us paid and so on. Though I kinda wish it was an actual window.

Today I am wearing my new suit with my new shoes (the Eccos that Tep linked to last week) and everyone is asking me if I have a job interview. Heh.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Nora, what do you think of the shoes? How do they fit/feel?

They feel good- they are a little loose in the back but nothing detrimental. I have the same issue that I have with any shoe that has the least little bit of heel- the pressure is concentrated to the uper part of the foot (the pad?) so it's a little sore there. But those are really minor issues- I've been wearing them all day and my feet feel more or less fine on the first shoe outing!

Also, I look GOOD.
