The long trek to pay day

Don't you just hate it when there are more than two weeks between pay days?

You're used to seeing the amount in your current account bump up every 14 days, and when it doesn't on the 15th day, you're pissed. When it's still doesn't on the 16th day, you're just plain sad.

And there's no one to blame but those Romans and their stupid calendar. This month we were paid on the 13th (because the 15th was a Sunday) and we won't receive the other check for the month until the 30th. That's 17 days. Ahhhhh! Two weeks AND A HALF.

Ok, I know I'm over reacting, considering my current state of employment, but still. When you're waiting for payday, it's not how much earn, it's when you get paid.
