I got my first paycheck from my new job at Oculan today. It covers four days, and was totally unexpected. I never get on anyone’s payroll this quickly, but since Monday was Memorial Day, the payroll processing company Paychex had a later deadline for payroll this time around.
Though the check is lightweight, it is nonetheless money. It also means that I only missed one paycheck during my time spent unemployed. I could also say I never went a month without a paycheck.
I am well aware of how incredibly fortunate I am. My thoughts are with my friends and relatives who are still out looking.
