The Weirdest Thing Happened to Me Today...

OK, so I was walking along in the hallway, when the administrative assistant came along and handed me this little envelope. I opened it up and found this... Check.

It was pay.

Wow.

Now THAT'S cool.

All this fun and they PAY me, as well?

It doesn't get any better than that!

Well, actually it does. The check wasn't quite as much as I thought it would be. We have been working since August 15, 2005, a total of 6 weeks. I have to admit, I was sort of expecting a check that pays me for 6 weeks. No such luck. I only got a check paying me for 4 weeks. Not that I am complaining (much)! This is how it works: the school year (and the related teacher contract) goes from September 1, 2005 until August 31, 2006. The school district takes your yearly salary and divides it into 12 monthly checks, so that teachers get paid all year long. The downside of this is that the first two weeks that I worked will not be paid (essentially) until August, 2006. There isn't anything that I can do. I talked with the Human Resource Manager and the Superintendent about it. That's how it works. Get used to it.

Oh, alright.

I guess.

But, I DID get a paycheck today, which is pretty damn cool!
