my pay doesn’t land until Thursday night, dammit. I much preferred a previous job where it would arrive on a Tuesday afternoon. somehow that feels much more civilised.

Payday today!! I’m trying to get the enthusiasm levels up like all you Wednesday pay people from last week, but when you have a strict budget it’s all divided up and spent before you get it anyway.
It is nice seeing the car money creeping higher though - I’ve gone from “could buy another car the same as mine if I crash it” level to being able to get something that’s a bit nicer. Slowly moving towards the point I can buy a car I would actually choose to buy without being forced by the death of my current one.

Monday pay people represent! The boss does our payslip in the morning but our pays sometime during the afternoon, so it’s a small “yay” when I get the email and a bigger more relieved “YAY” when the bread is in the bag.

We used to get the pay slip available on the pay system some random time during the day, but there is no email or any notification so you just have to keep checking if it is there. Recently they started doing it earlier so it is there over the weekend which is much better. We have a stupidly complicated pay structure with varying penalty rates so we always have to go through and double check everything for errors (although not everyone’s math skills are up to the task, so they probably get away with a lot of mistakes).
My bank now notifies me when the actual money goes into the bank, so that is always nice to see.
