That's incredibly shady, Steph.
Giles! I accidentally killed Spike. That's okay, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
it's just annoying AND sounds very shifty to me.
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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
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.

Are your employers having financial difficulties?
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.

What does that even mean, the Federal Reserve has it?

I have no idea. It's like a game of Telephone -- office manager-type employee was just relaying what the payroll service (allegedly) said.
