Survived first two weeks of job.

So far so good, though it has a fucked up pay schedule. On the 15th and the last working day of the month. Which means that I don't get paid til Monday. It's just weird.

*shrug*

Aside from that, I'm settling in okay.

Yay for surviving.

Boo hiss for weird pay schedules. (I know a little something about weird pay schedules. I get paid once a month. I get six checks Oct through Mar for work that starts in August and ends in January. Then I "start work again" if you exclude prep and research in between terms, assuming I don't get a winter term class) later in January and get six pay checks from March through August. Except that what should be the fall March paycheck gets held until September because that makes more sense than giving us two paychecks in March I guess?

As for pay days, we get paid sometime near the first of the month--once a month only. Some months, we get paid as early as say the 28th. Other months we get paid as late as the 3rd.

Except if it's for work through a different department, in which case since it's seasonal, we get paid only two to three weeks after all the work is done. I have tried to figure out how they determine when it's a paid on the 30th month as opposed to a paid on the 2nd month and failed every time. I'm not sure who designed this system. I am sure it took me a good four years to figure out all the nuances of it. So my scale of weird is pretty much off most peoples' charts.)
