Dichotomy...

I get paid every two weeks on Fridays. But my pay periods end on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month. What this means is basically that when I get my paycheck, it's not for the current week (because that week extends though Sunday), it's for the 2 weeks prior to that. When I get my paycheck, I also get a statement of what my vacation balance is, because I earn 5.89 vacation hours per pay period. My amazing realization of the day is that I actually accrue that time the day the pay period ends and not on the actual payday. So even though I get paid tomorrow, my time off accrued last Sunday. Why all this whole post over something so insignificant? Because for the first time since I started working, I have a positive time-off balance of 1.23 hours! Yay!!
