    That's how I keep people from knowing just how close to the edge I am.

    Why...oh why? Do some companies...when starting up a new person, decide to screw up their startup.

    If you were a business...and you were supposed to get paid by how many hours your people worked for the client,
    why would you wait until the last friggin' minute of the payperiod...to tell them where to submit their hours??? :confused:

    Oh yeah...and this is after contacting both the Director of HR and Account Mgr several times by phone, text and email.
    So you can have a printout, to get signed off of.
    Much less, actually get paid yourself.

    Now, this would think wouldn't give you the warm & fuzzies about the company you just started with...and it doesn't.
    But it really doesn't "upset" you, just make you roll eyes...because this is NOT unusual for starting up...and has happened to you before.

    Oh, and god forbid they fuck up your last name...first name, fine...but your last name...it all comes to a screeching halt.
    Systems, authorization, check cashing, direct deposits...and so on.

    So I've come to a point in my life & career with this...I don't trust anything or anyone...until I see that money in my account. Period.
    Your word means nothing.
    Your security clearance means nothing.
    Your offer means nothing.
    Your paperwork means nothing.
    You going into work means nothing.
    Your timesheet means nothing.
    Your authorization means nothing.
    Nothing counts, until the check cashes...and there is money in my hands...or my account.

    And if not...I stop...no soup for you...no more work for you or your client.

    The only time I give any discretion if it happens some time into my working with the company.

    Back to the Verizon store. QW's new iPhone has a defective headphone jack. My only complaint with my HTC is the number of preloaded apps that I will never, ever use. The phone has used nearly a half gig of data just for updates since Wednesday on that crap.

    Sitting here watching the REPLAY of the Oak Det game. There's about a minute left on the clock and my friend, Jorge, wants to know if I'd like to bet him that Det hold son to win. I think I'll take the bet then later explain what "replay" means.

    I bet that you were real popular with the folks waiting who only had a few items. How did you manage to move the full bags out of the way without setting off the Wait For Checker alarm?

    Doesn't matter that we decided we would extend the alarm time by 15 minutes...I was still up at 5:15.

    My internet provider tells me to visit their website for the latest details of the current outage.

    Nice.
