The Happy Camper

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.

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.

if you don't read all of them..why do you have them on your friends list?

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.
