All day long I've been feeling an anticipatory glow as I wait for an email whose overly formal subject cannot even begin to dampen the joy its contents never fail to elicit.
"Online Pay Statement is Available to View"
seriously?
There should be sparkles! Confetti! Tons of those sideways 'V's and '3's that are supposed to be hearts! There should sound clips of horns and children's laughter and everything bright and fuzzy that can be communicated in an email because that subject means one very very happy thing:
IT'S PAY DAY!!!!!!
But, unfortunately, that email has not come and I am forced to sit and wait and refresh gmail every few minutes because, even though I know it does it automatically, I can't trust the Google gods when so much is at stake. Pay day is no joking matter especially this one because my wallet never got over Paris and working 4 hours a week for the past quarter and a half was not doing much to help matters. Today was supposed to be the day when a nice, weighty paycheck would be coming in the (e-) mail because 3 weeks ago I started working here and they pay like I'm a grad student and boy o boy do I need it so I can buy a digital camera and gas and lodging in Mexico (and maybe a cute bathing suit before I leave).
*refreshes email for the 5th time since beginning this post*
Damnit! It's still not there!
UPDATE: turns out pay day is Sunday... and I wasted valuable study time today obsessively checking my online checking account/ Gmail. Why you gotta be so complicated, Stanford?

1. Shouldn't you be doing some work?
2. They post it in axess before they send the email out. It might be there, you should go take a look.
