thessalianI occasionally get accused of being negative -- of dwelling on the things that could possibly go wrong, particularly when I can't do anything to change it. What I say to that is, "At least when the blow falls, I'm prepared".
This means that tonight's little pessimism-a-thon is devoted to the fact that tomorrow is supposed to be payday. Emphasis on "supposed to be". I remember my stint in X-Ray when the bastards wouldn't pay me for the time I had off sick, all on a technicality. In that case, I hadn't even actually resigned. Of course, in that case, when I rang in long-term sick, I passed the message on to someone I didn't really know and obviously couldn't trust, since the message apparently never got to my office manager. In this case, I'm damn sure that Kate passed the message along to both Violet and Tanya and that they got my resignation letter, because I know Tanya would have been on the blower to me on Friday last to find out if I was going to be away this week as well if she hadn't known. So I shouldn't be so worried. On the other hand, I didn't know that the withholding of pay was going to happen last time either.
Well, there's no sense in fussing about it now, I know. Still, I have to acknowledge that it's a possible outcome, even if I have no clue what I'm supposed to do about it should that actually be the outcome.
Eh. I'll find out in the morning.
