Next paycheck is Petsuit time 😈
i also ordered a The Daan sticker and a sheet of bunny sickers along w my phonecase if im already spending money i might as well spend more money (first paycheck this week!!!)
I connected to public Wi-Fi to post an update before I go and disconnect it. I assumed they forgot to pay the bills, but that wasn't the actual reason. It's because they had insufficient funds before paycheck.
What's confusing me is when my mom is actually going to get her paycheck. My dad says 10 PM, my mom says tomorrow, and then the day after tomorrow?? My brain is fucking fried.
i shouldn't have taken this job again, fuck.........!!! don't be me guys!! don't be a good worker and accept more work if you don't have to! just say no next time!! fuck the paycheck!! it's not worth your sanity!!
