Still haven't gotten my pay π It's in the damn cloud somewhere. Had to transfer money out of my kids bank accounts to cover direct debits. I feel deeply ashamed.
Thereβs no shame, itβs keeping the water and lights on that they also use and youβll pay it back.
Iβm wondering if Mr P is contributing to the household expenses. Because now would be a great time
Edit: I found this for emergency help with essentials, fingers crossed your pay comes through soon but if not https://ndh.org.au/debt-solutions/emergency-assistance/
Thankyou!
There is no shame to be had. You are doing what you have to, and the money will be back in theirs as soon as it hits your account. Its nothing you've done and beyond your control.
You've got great kids. I'm sure they'll understand.
I'm sending this out to the cloud - HURRY UP WITH THE FUCKING MOOLAH
I hope this helps. β€οΈ π€
Thankyou. Listen, cloud, listen!
This is the one time when yelling at clouds is socially acceptable.
That sucks. Your boss knows its late, doesn't he? Is there anything he can do from the payroll side?
All he knows is the money has gone from his account. There was an industry outage affecting merchant payments to external accounts earlier this week, so it's been caught up in that somehow.
