    I finally got paid


    turns out the turdfaces put the check in my desk


    and never told me about it


    and put it in the drawer that I never open ever.



    Awesome, retards.

    We have cubbies at work and sometimes my boss will put things in there for me. But I've moved to the basement of the building next door where I manage the fulfillment department now and almost never go next door and never really used my cubby when my desk was over in the first place. So it seems every couple weeks I'll walk by it and see something sitting there and be like "oh, hey..."

    My checks are all direct deposited at this point though, which is awesome because I suck at going to the bank. For example, my christmas bonus is still hanging on the fridge.

    oh man direct deposit has made me so lazy, as has online bill paying

    if i get a normal check, it is at least two weeks before it gets to the bank, and i am constantly forgetting to pay bills if they don't have online/auto-pay

    I would have fucking perfect credit now if I could pay everything online. But the student loan people like to make payments remarkably difficult for me.

    Some of my creditors are the same way, like my auto finance people. Some of their shit is so fucking stupid. One month they didn't send me my bill, presumably because someone copied down a wrong digit in my address or something, so they called me up (because if they don't send it, I really do not remember when to pay it or what the exact amount is or where to mail it) and said that I could pay them right now over the phone and avoid the late fee. Payment over the phone has a $20 fee. The late fee was $12. Come on, assholes. You're gonna charge me an extra $8 so I can hurry up and get your money to you? No, fuck you, I'll take the late fee and you can lose the extra $8 plus the interest. I mean, come on, twenty fucking dollars to take payment over the phone? That's bullshit.

    I'm hoping to go to the liquidation sales this weekend.
    You should probably do it soon. We had people parked on the grass today, it was worse than Black Friday.

    And despite what the banners say, only cords and shit are 30% off. The minimum is 10%, and most everything important will be that low. I'd recommend making friends with the person at the register though. We had several employees today making price adjustments for like 50% and 70% when they were supposed to be 10%. Management hates the liquidator, who wasn't even in the store, so nothing happened to them.
    Thanks for all of the info and advice.

    I would like to pause for a moment, to talk about my penis.
    My penis is like a toddler. A toddler—who is a perfectly normal size for his age—on a long road trip to what he thinks is Disney World. My penis is excited because he hasn’t been to Disney World in a long, long time, but remembers a time when he used to go every day. So now the penis toddler is constantly fidgeting, whining “Are we there yet? Are we there yet? How about now? Now? How about... now?”
    And Disney World is nowhere in sight.

    My work is being a constant ass to me, I'm pretty sure the boss has no concept of managing money because he's always late paying us, he owes one worker two weeks pay from a month ago, not only this but he acts like a huge jerk towards us.

    I just can't imagine how someone who owes us money still manages to yell at us, abuse us and always tries to force us to stay back late. It boggles my mind and the only reason that i'm putting up with it all is because I want to go back to uni and save up for the fees.

    One time, after finally paying me from a drought of like 3 weeks, he called me up after work and went "I can't believe I just paid you after that complete shit job you did, you HAVE to come in early and do a rework, I seriously can't believe I paid you after that."

    When in reality I waste my money on booze and cigarettes every week. How I manage to spend $550 a week is kind of mind blowing.

    Don't you live about a drunken stagger from the Stone Brewery? I think that might be an important clue in the mystery.

    How about Conservation Scientist? Although, I assume the smoking weed thing is not going to be included in the listed duties.

    Yes, that does indeed sound appealing. Too bad I need to go to school for about 7 years before I'm even qualified.

    But, I'd do that in a heartbeat.

    Also, I think the weed smoking is an implied responsbility anyways.

    Oh sweet! I know zero of the program but my shiny new accountant tells me that I should be using it so that when it comes time for taxes I don't end up handing her a box full of receipts that'll cost me a small fortune to figure out.
