Dear miss.crayon....

Dear miss.crayon,

Due to the fact that we prefer to pay you bi-monthly instead of bi-weekly, you will not get paid again until next Wednesday. Have a nice weekend!

Love, your work

P.S. we hate you.

.....It would be really swell if we could just get paid bi-weekly all the time, it sucks having to wait longer than 2 weeks during the longer months.

I am with you! I get paid bi-monthly too, and I find myself waiting with baited breath for my next cheque!

brokencrayon · #4 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

yep it can be pretty rough sometimes but especially right now for me because I just moved again mid-month so I have had all these expenses to pay. This also reminds me that I haven't gotten my damage deposit back from the other place yet.

6 business days by law - then 15% interest every day it isn't paid.

Well hopefully I won't need to do that. To be fair I told my roomie/cousin when I gave notice that it was okay if she couldn't afford it right away and that she could pay it to me closer to the end of the month seeing as how I moved out so suddenly. I also paid a full months rent anyways since it was short notice, so basically she has no excuses for not being able to pay me by the end of this month. I am hoping she will act as fairly as I have been with her. :)

I wish my roommates had been as fair as you!

I just kicked one out for not paying rent.

bi monthly is the shit, on paycheque for rent and bills, one for balling out. never have to worry about saving.

I hate people like that. That is so irresponsible and disrespectful.

True, but even with bi-weekly I would still be able to put a paycheque away every month to go towards rent and bills for the following month. I guess I just like bi-weekly because it is what I am used to from previous jobs. hehe

im the same

Uhm.... am I the only one who realizes that bi-monthly is a paycheque every two months???? If anyone actually has that pay schedule.... THAT SUCKS.

rawb · #15 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

i realized it but then i wanted to use 'the lingo the kids use'

brokencrayon · #16 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

^ actually it depends where you work. Some places consider bi-monthly to be every 2 months and some consider it to be twice every month - which would usually mean you get paid on the 14th/15th and then the last day of every month.. which can totally suck ass on longer months because it doesn't always work out in your favour. In my case it is the twice a month but I would prefer bi-weekly especially during those months when I have to wait longer for my last paycheque of the month.

Carrie · #17 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

just be happy about what you got.

I get paid monthly!

brokencrayon · #18 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

Carrie · #19 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

yep. I hate it soooo much

PwInCeSs · #20 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

yea i get paid the 1st and 15th

Carrie · #21 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

I think I need a part time job to get paid more often

Pennywise · #22 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

brokencrayon · #23 (**permalink**) Aug 24, 05

that's what i do. it's totally rad.

better than always getting paid on fridays. i spend waaaay more money that way.. on stupid things at least.

ps - dictionary gives bimonthly as both twice a month, or every 2 months :P
