My devoted readers will recall that I came downtown Thursday, two weeks ago today, to pick up my paycheck, and found there was none for me, as management had not made out my timesheet during my vacation. I did receive it last week with the assurance that my timesheet had in fact been filled out for the last pay period the day before I returned, and for the proper eighty hours. And so it had been -- except for the tiny box on the upper right where the total hours is transcribed from the box where it was first written. And in that box it was written correctly; but in the little box that matters the number forty had been copied from a weekly total. And of course the department head signed it without inspecting it. And today I was the lucky recipient of half a paycheck, and must wait another week for the rest.

I am, as the saying goes, not entirely gruntled.

Besides suffering a delayed reaction to my flu shot.

Or maybe the damned thing just didn't work.

In another half an hour, home to sleep.

On my Friends of Friends page. But as I look now, we seem to have no friends in common! Did you post something recently in either Egyptology or Bellydancing?

This is a puzzle to me. LJ has sometimes dropped people from friends lists but not added, as far as I know.

Well, what to do? Add me if you like. On the other hand, if you feel I'm invading your privacy, let me know and I will take you off my list, with apologies in advance.

Well, considering I hardly believe you read you read 359 journals per day ...so no I won't add you.

Not for making your friends page larger then life and for a bizarre ego trip.

Bizarre, yes. Rather lacking as an ego trip, though. I do have to spend many, many of my waking hours staring at a screen, and like to check into LJ every so often to see if anyone has said anything new.

But I do, for the most part. I would estimate that fewer than a hundred post with any regularity. Fifteen or twenty minutes every couple of hours does the job.

Very uncool. I had an employer once who shorted me $200. He accused me of trying to steal in front of everyone and acted like a major jerk. Then he called and the secretary did indeed say that he failed to cut me the check. HE didn't say he was sorry or wrong, but he did write me a check then and there. It was a pretty stressful situation for this 17 yr old kid, though...
