All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I still haven't gotten the paperwork I need to do mine from my sister.

I probably would have ignored them until Tuesday anyway, but now at least I have an excuse.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

That bites, Tep.

I have money in my savings I can shift over to my checking (which is what my debit card pulls from), but it's just annoying AND sounds very shifty to me.

They pay me in WOIMS

Pack all the sh*t I still haven't packed.

I find that hard to believe. You're just saying that to make everyone else who's ever moved feel better, right?

Admittedly, I packed most things up this past weekend. But I still have bits and pieces around.

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

it's just annoying AND sounds very shifty to me.

Are your employers having financial difficulties?

Yeah, I'd be pretty pissed in that situation....

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's incredibly shady, Steph.

It really is.

In my world, paycheck direct deposit should not be messed with. It should just definitely happen when it's supposed to and if it doesn't there should be both understandable explanations and a lot of groveling.

Happy moving, megan!

I'm sorry, Steph. That's really inconsiderate of them.

I'm getting most of my night garden planted today. It's for my front porch. I have a white clematis, a pale lavender passion flower, and a white climbing hibiscus, as well as white impatiens and white, old fashioned (i.e. fragrant) petunias. I'm thinking it'll be all glowey and sweet smelling in the summer evenings, when things cool down enough for me to sit on my porch.

Not that I'm aware of, but they also don't tell us stuff like that.

And office manager-type employee said that, according to the payroll service, the paychecks were NOT being held up for insufficient funds, only that "the Federal Reserve won't release the funds."

I have no idea who's lying. It's happened in the past that office manager-type employee has forgotten to call in payroll and we didn't get paid, but in that instance, we were just issued actual checks right then and there.

So it sounds like maybe the payroll service fucked up, because I really do think that if it was office manager-type employee's fault, we would have been told to come in today and pick up actual checks. Because Big!Boss is very VERY adamant about shit like us getting paid when we're supposed to.

Or -- though it just doesn't sound plausible -- maybe the Federal Reserve really IS sitting on the money.

No matter what happened, I still have a paycheck-sized hole in my bank account, damn it.
