Lakehead Stupid-versity

Oh yea, that's right. I went there.

Stupid Lakehead! Today is pay day. The best part about any job. If you don't believe me just ask Dr. Nick: "...the most rewarding part is when he gave me my money." But my bank account shows that $0.00 has been put into it, well actually it doesn't show that $0.00 has been put into it, it doesn't say anything really. I wait until after lunch to see if the money is going to come in late. Nothing.

I call over to Pay Roll and ask them what's going on? Finally we figure out that I had faxed my time card to the wrong number! I has sent it to Human Resources. I guess I'm an idiot because when I looked up "Payroll" on LU's online directory and found it under "Human Resources" I assumed that they were connected and shared a fax number.

I wonder what they thought when a time card came into their office? Certainly they knew what it was! Do they not fill out time cards themselves? Was it really that much of a hassle to a) forward my fax to Pay Roll (or just walk there since it's in the same general location) and b) fax me back and politely tell me "For future reference, fax your time cards to ###-####."?

But I guess whoever found my timecard in their fax machine probably had a good reason for not doing so, such as "It's not my job!" or "Well, next time they'll know not to send it here!"

Anyway, thanks to an extremely slow day at work, I walked over to Pay Roll to hand them my original time card. I was expecting dirty looks from the women I had complained to over the phone but they were both very cheerful and sympathetic. The Pay Roll manager told me that she would see if she could get me my money by next Friday. I hope so, because thanks to Visa, getting my money any later could prove costly.
