This is either the best thing ever....or the worst prank.

Stories can come another day. As much as we all enjoy sharing and reading them, it's a GOOD thing when one of us gets to the point where we're doing MUCH more reading than sharing ^_^

Go. Kick some ass!

There is a long list of reasons why it is better to work for a small, personal company versus a large, heartless, monolithic corporation. Guaranteed payroll is not on that list.

Fingers are crossed that it is truly a one time mistake.

[Seraph]

I appreciate it. I'm just kind of borderline huddling in a corner out of sheer "wtf am I going to do"-ness.

[Aethian]

Ummm *blinks* Seraph I am so sorry.

[Seraph]

The first paycheck almost always has some kinks in it. I wouldn't count this as a prank yet.

Let me clarify.

Nobody at the company got paid last pay period. They did not make payroll. This is...really, not good.

...turning into the worst prank.

.....they didn't make payroll, for my first pay period. They say its a one time thing, and that they'll get it straightened out asap....I'm praying, and praying, things will turn around.

Congratulations!

[Geek King]

Late, but let me add my congrats as well.

And my I point out that your super powers are holding true. Once bad news became normal, you got good news.

[Der Cute]

Wow. Damn. And yeah Sapphire's right, on a high right now. Shock, on a positive level, right?

[Sapphire Silk]

So, uh, is a growing terror that something may happen before the 60 days are up a standard thing for having a fulltime job? Because darn, I'm just jumping at every shadow, lol.

What you are feeling is normal. Right now things seem to good to be true, and you're waiting for the bubble to burst. It's part of the normal excitement of the job. Just remember to breathe and remember you have to come down from the mountain. You're just riding a high right now.

You'll be fine

Seraph, I've been at my current job for over six years. I'm their rum guy, I've been here longer than all but one bartender and three staff total, I'm well known to the owner in a good way, I do tons of extra projects fir them that they love the results of...and I'm still paranoid enough that whenever a manager says they need to talk to me, my reflex response is to ask, "Am I in trouble?"

[Silvercat]

Sounds normal to me.

Saw this article today on CNN Money, Seraph. It's right on point with what you should be making, IIRC if you work out they'll up your wage to this.

Yep, probably will, especially after what transpired yesterday.

My first day of work went so amazingly, amazingly well...that they offered me co-seat as Design Team Lead. Which, after my 60 days, will have a better paybump than what they originally stated me at.
