Place your bets, boys and girls I don't know how your payroll system works, but normally there's some lag between when you work and when you get paid for that work. For example, I will get paid for work I did today on October 2nd because the payroll period is two weeks (9/6-9/19) paychecks are distributed every other Friday (9/4, 9/18, 10/2, etc), and the first paycheck after today's payroll period ends comes on 10/2, roughly three weeks from now. If you're working under a similar system, there will be a similar delay between your complaint and your recompense. Say you were shorted on 8/26. If you immediately notified your boss and he took steps to correct it, the lost shift would have been bundled with your pay from the week of 8/26 (as opposed to when you actually earned it). Of course, your boss should have explained all this to you (if it is, in fact, the case) or have at least given you a firm date on when you would receive the back pay. If he hasn't or is being evasive, you need to talk to HR because he is either 1) incompetent or 2) trying to shave hours to make himself look better and hoping nobody notices. In either case, the solution isn't to stamp your feet and make idle threats at the workplace, or here, but to pick up the phone and start making calls.

I've just moved to a new flat. My internet was supposed to be moved to the new address between one and six pm today. It's now well after six and it hasn't even been disabled at the old place yet, which probably means it'll be Monday before it actually gets sorted out. And the ISP aren't answering when I phone them "due to the large number of calls they're currently receiving".

I have somehow missed the UPS guy who's supposed to pick up the Amazon Echo my boyfriend rear end-dialed two days in a row. Yesterday he came while I was in the shower. Today we waited til 545, decided he wasn't coming, and went out to dinner only to come home to a "Sorry we missed you" slip on the door. If we miss him again tomorrow, we're going to be stuck with this thing. Also, a guy at a nearby table at the restaurant was the worst kind of loudmouth, pretentious wanker. My meal was delicious, but goddamn was he obnoxious.

Where I live now (NYC) honking your horn exclusively means either "hurry the gently caress up" or "get the hell out of my way", but where I grew up if you ever heard a car horn the only thing it could mean was one of your friends was driving past your house. Today my first world problem is that I want the new expansion for Destiny, but they won't let you buy it unless you have the first two, which I don't want and will cost an extra $35.

I am unemployed. Although my living situation is stable, I have spending money, and I am not suffering in any way, I want a job and my own place. The new game for my DS is super fun but entirely stylus-controlled so my hand goes numb quickly. I started reading a book I was "saving" but it ended up being poorly written and disappointing.

The 99 cent store near my place is now 'lovely items are a buck, halfway lovely are $2, and basic poo poo $3." I've seen some loving $6 things there. You can't call yourself a dollar store when half your stock isn't a buck. I can't tell if my Costco membership has expired. I can just pay for a new one, but my mom gets one free from work and I don't know if they plan to give those out again this year.

The order I made back on like Wednesday still says it's awaiting payment even though I paid immediately after making the order. So best case scenario is they ship it on Monday morning and I might get it on Tuesday, almost a whole week later, instead of the next day if they had a normal system in place. This is bullshit, I could've gotten this poo poo delivered faster from the UK. It's just a part I need for my quadcopter and I could be doing something with the dozen other hobbies I have but I want to do this noooow

One of my best friends got a whole whack of money from their parents' to go tour Europe. I really want to be happy for them but all I can think about is how they'd be better off squirreling at least some of that away to un-gently caress their living situation  You don't have to spend every single cent you get.

My certified birth certificate copy that I've had since I was a tiny que isn't good enough to get a passport. I spent the better part of a week trying to arrange the necessaries by phone with my birth state until I landed on the one clerk who directed me to payments by Internet. Also got pretty well gouged for the fancy piece of paper too. At least when it's all over, I'll have official notarized documentation that I am truly QUE. Rural record keeping can go blow a goat.

It's the 99 Cent Only store and up till this year, everything in the store was a buck and they still have up all the old signs saying NOTHING OVER 99 CENTS. I feel bad for the poor cashiers. At another store today there was some guy asking for donations for kids with cancer. The pitch started the second your foot touched the curb. "Hey man you wanna make a kid smile? Hey man you look busy, help a kid with cancer out!" He wasn't with any group I'd ever heard of. Seriously dude, you look as trustworthy as a frat boy with roofies and wine coolers. It didn't help that he was parked right next to the exit doors so if one person came out alone, he'd ambush them and not move out of the way.

Strangers on the internet sometimes say things I disagree with. Nobody in my life does that because I prune my circle of friends regularly to avoid arguments, but its still pretty rough having to tell all of these people that they are wrong and that hitler agrees with them.

Hitler was a respected world leader, a successful military strategist, regarded as one of the greatest public speakers of all time and assembled one of the most powerful military alliances of the early 20th century. You can fault Hitler for a lot of things, but at the end of the day, he was a pretty smart cookie.

You can use a debit card. Alamo rental car also allows debit card. Only issue is they may put a big rear end hold or you have daily $ limits but it's perfectly doable.mobby_6kl posted:I initially requested a pretty conservative limit for my CC, but during the first vacation realized it wasn't nearly high enough.

Chase loves your money.

Bhodi posted:i would like to see you get a plane ticket and hotel reservations without one Don't be pedantic, you know what I'm saying. Charging a vacation to a credit card at 20% interest is the dumbest thing. There's this thing called "saving money" that responsible adults do to pay for their vacation. Then you don't have a $300 payment with $120 interest every month.

Real adults charge everything to their credit cards for the bonus dollars, because it's tied to their bank and it takes 2 seconds to pay it off immediately. Then use those bonus dollars for free movie passes to go see comic book movies marketed to children.
