bzarcher*grumble* We're now on day 8 of the 7-10 days in which my refund would arrive. No refund yet. Hopefully tomorrow.
I've also found out that interns are basicially the ONLY people here paid monthly. Period.
This has lead me to a very simple decision: NEVER GET ROPED INTO A MONTHLY PAY-CYCLE EVER AGAIN. If the rest of the world is getting paid bi-monthly, don't settle for less.
If I get really lucky, maybe I'll hear about the other job today!
Yeah, right.

Also, if you're hard up, I'm liquid enough right now that I can float you some.

Date: 2004-02-12 08:03 am (UTC)As for me, I don't mind it. I'm still going paycheck to paycheck, but budgeting isn't too hard for me (no major bills helps, too).
I do?
Date: 2004-02-12 08:06 am (UTC)Even the salaried people in my office get paid every 2 weeks. *shrug*
I don't really like the paycheck to paycheck, not just because of bills but because I'd rather have 2 times when I know I'll have money coming in to arrange my neccesary spending around.
Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 08:15 am (UTC)Seriously, it makes sense. Just takes a little budgeting and adjustment, neither of which ever hurt anyone. So there.
No, you mean bi-weekly ;)

Date: 2004-02-12 08:20 am (UTC)And, all arguments in favor taken as valid... I still hated it. I paid my rent and all my bills out of that one for a month, and limped around on about two hundred bucks the rest of the time.
Not that I'm enjoying my current situation either, but at least at CMU, my reasons for walking were cold, concrete, and eventually led to some trouble over in my department.

Re:
Date: 2004-02-12 09:28 am (UTC)What's so wrong about spreading things out? That way, if something comes up, you maybe say, well, let's delay this, and take care of that. Sure, there's budgeting, but if an emergency develops, budgeting doesn't mean squat.

Date: 2004-02-12 09:30 am (UTC)Well, I just say fuck da po-lice. Yep.
