Ouch. My office is putting off payroll until next week, which seems to have caught a number of us flat-footed. I really wish that if this had to happen at all, it could have happened 5 years ago when I had a comfortable safety margin saved up.

Yikes Matt, that's uncool.
Well my night keeps getting better...in my exploration of the basement leak, I discovered dried up cat poo and cat puke in a corner. Just lovely.

Thanks for the suggestions. Coming up with stuff like this is one of the most fun and yet maddening parts of my job.

Working there is not a hobby. At some point the response to putting off payroll has to be putting off showing up for work. There are a lot of variables about when that happens that you would know better than anyone else. But I would not let their debt to you pile up to much. Making payroll is a basic responsibility of those running a business.

The bright side of the oil spill? I have a use for the pine-based kitty litter that the cats refuse to use.
This is giving me a headache.

Yeah, I had to explain to someone today how I didn't have the leisure to do this job just because I like it.
I can't imagine if they just decided not to pay me one day. That sucks.

I'll second Clapton for guitar player. The only basketball player who I'd think would be as recognizable as Shaq is Michael Jordan, but he's from about the same era.

Well, it's not like the company just said to everyone "hey, you're all volunteers from now on!" But even temporary difficluties are worrisome.
