The Joys of employment

If there is one thing I have learned about being employed by the state of Ca. is your first paycheck is either shorten, your paycheck doesn't match your work hours or in my case; the information wasn't given to the accounting department. I know it's nothing to worry about I'll just get my paycheck next week. 

Really?!? In my case I have waited a long to time start this damn job and already my first real paycheck is lost in the system, no harm no foul in the meantime I have bills that need to get paid and Christmas is just a few weeks away, my plans were to get a massage I really need one. I haven't had one since July (more on that in another post), my supervisor tells me baby it's okay it will be here by Wednesday I'm thinking this is not the phone call I was expecting I really didn't like this news whatsoever.

So I told my loving hubby guess what whoever works in accounting didn't cut me a check, the look on his face wasn't good nor was the look on mine we have struggled financially, for the last year our checking account has been in the red a few times. Now that I'm working my first paycheck will be waiting for me hopefully before hubby gets his, praying it will be in my supervisor's office on Tuesday morning I'm not driving back to Oakland for it! Nor will I pay for parking for 5 minutes just to pick up my paycheck!!

On the bright side of this at least I'm working this will get taken care of  at least there is still a way of getting Christmas gifts, Ch will have to take a day off in the middle of the week, and praying we find what we want to get everyone their Christmas gifts. 

To be honest with you I wanted to scream FATHER GOD this is not suppose to happen! Oh it is happening sweetheart just going to take a few more days to receive your first paycheck, and being paid once a month while hubby has two paychecks one on the 1st of the month and the 15th of the month. I'm praying this gets taken care of by Wednesday.

At least I'm finally getting cookies made I'm late making them, at least family and friends will have them in time for Christmas to enjoy, as for Christmas cards thank God there's a CVS pharmacy down the block from where I work, picking those up tomorrow before I start work. 

I'm blessed to have supervisors who understand my situation, and a loving hubby who happens to be a supervisor knows what it's like to get have an employee's paycheck that doesn't arrive at the same time as other employee's receive theirs. In the meantime I'm praying this doesn't happen next month.
