a few minorly depressing things

[kodalai]

Got paid today. A depressingly small amount. If I'm working forty hours in a two week period, shouldn't I be getting more than a hundred dollars, even with tax? ;_;

Today after work I went shopping for some things. I bought a baseball cap to protect my eyes during the ride through the shadeless, windbreakless route to school. I also bought a pretty t-shirt from Hot Topic (but not the FMA one, I restrained myself) and a new PS2 memory card, since the one that came with it is entirely useless. (It doesn't have enough capacity to save a single damn file on it, much less work up a log.) On my way out of the mall, I stopped by the food court and treated myself to teriyaki chicken so I wouldn't have to cook. It was almost mall closing time so I wrapped up the container in plastic and put it in my bag.

When I got home I found that the plastic had tears in it and teriyaki sauce had gotten all over everything: my sweater, my shirt, my new hat, my new memory card, and my notebook for class. And of all the sauce-soaked receipts in my bag, somehow the only one I hadn't managed to keep was the one for the memory card, so if it's ruined now, there's no returning it. >_<

Why did I think it was a good idea to arrange my schedule such that I don't have any days off in a week?

Your paycheck does not sound reasonable. One thing you might check out is when the two week cycle closes; it may be that you only got paid for the first week (or even less), depending on when it ended. If that is the case, be patient; it all comes out right in the end (including an extra check after your last pay cycle).

I'm pretty sure it's only for the first week at the CC and the training hours in Shelving. It only logged me in for 15 out of the 40 hours. It's still a little depressing, though, since I feel like I've worked several full weeks and only got a partial paycheck.
