Payday!
Having nothing else that stimulates a post right now, I guess I have to mention that today was Payday. Yes, that fateful day when those of us lesser mortals who slavishly get up to reach work at some hellishly inconvenient hour when we probably could use another hour of sleep, look forward to with bated breath. Perhaps because if payday did not come, then life as we know it would be quite different (or might I say friggin broke!). Anyhow, I really am not complaining. I thank God for my job, as I have said it before, hard as work can be, the no work situation is screwed for want of a better word.
Anyhow, I was pretty busy at work today. It was my first day back ‘on call’ since returning from leave. As a result of the referrals I was seeing, I did not get to go up by accounts to collect my payslip. Anyhow, it is not a problem, the cheque is lodged to my bank account directly.
After this one, there is one final cheque to look forward to this year, and we are not paid a Christmas bonus. Cho! Nevertheless, I plan to make the most of the Xmas season. It is one of my favourite times of the year. Anyhow, tek care till next time! Seen?
November 26th, 2002 at 7:13 am I guess most of us being ordinary folks, never look forward to payday without being a bit mad, especially when we see how small it is and how much the goverment has taken in order to make up their fat pay packages.
November 26th, 2002 at 7:26 am Hey Kruger, that is a definite sorepoint! If I could save even half the income tax and other shit that is deducted from my pay, I would be a happy man bredren! Don’t even bother to get me started!!!
November 26th, 2002 at 10:33 am I actually don’t look forward to pay day. It is too frustrating…as I get it …..it’s gone
November 26th, 2002 at 12:09 pm Yes, payday is a big day for me too. Too big, in fact. I wish that I could be in the position where if payday passed by and there was no slip forthcoming, I’d be unconcerned. Actually, there are two ways that I could attain that state. I could become independently wealthy somehow, and then invest in some good stocks, so that I had access to funds whether or not I got paid. Then work would be more like a hobby. The other way that this could come into being is by my becoming absolutely, absolutely broke. Then I wouldn’t worry about money so much as food and drink. As long as you can cadge another meal, things would be alright. You see, the more you possess, the more enslaved you are. If you have a house, you have either rent or mortgage payments. If you have a car, its car payments. You have out a new TV on hire purchase, more payments. Possessions = payments.
November 26th, 2002 at 7:18 pm I got a surprise in my first paycheck (from the Registry)…two free movie passes. The gal at the Registry told me that they always give out things like that. She said Christmas also means more goodies…. I’m trying to remember why I’m only using the Registry until I start my hospital job on Monday….I could be making more money this way…and getting all sorts of nice little extras.
November 26th, 2002 at 9:45 pm Well Phleg, think of it this way. If you did not have a cheque to get, then you would be scrambling around desperately to find a way to meet all those pickney bills that you seem to be so prolific at breeding!

November 27th, 2002 at 7:02 pm Melissa, wherever did you get that idea?? Unless you know something about my pay that I don’t!
