Good morning, my friend. I knew it was coming, but it's always nice to hear that payday is near.
I wonder if my bank has reverted my payday back to Thursday for some reason, because my check isn't in there today like it has been.

That sucks, especially when you're counting on it. I wonder if your paystub has always stated the Friday date and you just happen to benefit from an early payout.

The payday has always been Thursdays, and for many years, that's when I got paid. Then sometime around covid, my bank started depositing it in Wednesdays for some reason. Mine wasn't the only bank, but among my team, it was probably around 50/50 who got theirs on Wednesday v. Thursday. So the date itself hasn't changed, my bank just took away the early deposit for some reason.

I remember you posting that you got paid a day early before it became a regular occurrence. It was fun while it lasted.

Interesting timing, as we were just discussing assisted suicide at dinner last night. Something the middle kid was talking about because she was thinking of using it in an essay argument she needed to make.

A neighbor already has plans to go to Switzerland (where it's legal) when it's time.

Turns out, there's an issue with the bank our company uses, so that's the reason for the delay. So PayDayWednesday should still be a thing going forward.
