I got up at seven-thirty and went to work to pick up the paycheck I was supposed to get. I walk in and Lieutenant Asshat immediately tells me they direct-deposited the check this morning. Well, great, that's a waste of two hours worth of travel time and walking.

Then I come home and check with my bank. Is my check deposited in my checking account? Of course not. Why would you think my check had been deposited in my checking account? Because the company that issues the checks told us it was?!

GIVE ME MY MONEY, BEE-YOTCHES. I am not waiting until fucking Tuesday to get a check and cash it. *seethes*

EDIT: Surprise, surprise, they fucked it up again. I'm getting a check tomorrow. Great, now I have to find a check cashing place in the area. Grrr.

Yes, but I can also take out money whenever I want, and I've proven in the past that that is a bad option for me to have, because I'm an irresponsible twit. :)

You could be like the lady on the use-you-credit-card-wisely commercial that freezes her card in a block of ice so she won't have time to thaw it in order to order some damn thing off the TV...

:D

...you don't have an ATM card? OMG. See, my husband can't have *checks*, because then he just blithely writes them for everything and bounces ten in a month and generally makes a mess. But, ATM card, yes, because it checks before approving the debit. Heh.

Also, I reiterate yesterday's comment on this. Not that L.A. hasn't already thrown a fit on your behalf, but you should do so too--or if not a fit, a reasonable but forceful statement on the necessity of pay being accomplished correctly. It's not okay for them to pay you sporadically.

I shouldn't be allowed either checks or an ATM card. What I need is either a babysitter or a neverending supply of money.

Don't get the check card option and don't bring it with you when you shop. You haven't really lived until you've gone to an ATM at 3:00 in the morning.
