Well, hey, I'm just feeling lucky. I actually use 'wench' as a term of affection and the gf likes it. No, really! A big smile when you say it johnny, that's all you need [img]smile.gif[/img]

But yeah, I guess I'm quite a traditional guy when it comes to the roles in a relationship, and luckily she feels much the same way.

I see the breakdown of these traditions one of the primary reasons for society's problems.

And Xen, you're practically a native speaker..err..typer! You only get C's? Your examiner needs a smack round the head. Unless your English exams are like ours, in which case actually being able to read/write/spell only counts for 3 marks whereas your ability to pontificate about crap literature counts for 97.

Thanks for that compliment. I never had any problems with English. I speak/write it fluently as far as I can rememebr. So I really don't know what I do wrong.

Then let me point it out for you....S.P.E.L.L.I.N.G. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Did a 7-8 page paper before Spring Break and turned it in. Had to break down and analyze the dynamics of the third fight scene in Beowulf the Dane. Wasn't as hard as I thought it'd be.

Ok for anyone that has had a pay cheque I ask you this. If you were over paid. Would you let payroll know about it. Or would you let them come to you?

I have been over paid and I am thinking of just letting it slide. But then again if they find out they will want there money back. I should just put into a seperate account for a few months and then if they take it back, then I will have it. Keep in mind I work for a very large company that makes 100's of millions dollars a year. And they have over paid others here all the time and it has never been found. Even with that what would you do? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Tricky situation there Mack I don't know, doesn't seem like a bad plan to see if they find out. But well I know another story of someone around my age (nearly 18) who found some glitch in a banking system and got a few million and now has a huge problem cause he had to tell it. Guess it would have been worse if the bank found out. Guess I'd go for telling,

Over here we have maths 1 and 2, physics 1,2 and chemistry 1,2. Now I only need the 1 subjects but I've been doing the 2 subjects as well cause I like it. Now I need to have an 8 (out of 10) average to get into medicine without trouble and in the city I want. So I decided to let the 2 subjects drop, didn't do a physics 2 test. Now I got my maths 1,2 results back and I had a 9.8 for 1 and a 9.5 for 1,2. Now I don't know if I should have dropped the subjects On one hand it's pretty safe cause I have a few other subjects to compensate with. On the other hand if I just do the final exam normal I can use those points to compensate my lower marks. Hmm don't know what to do anymore..

The ethical thing is to tell them that your pay doesn't appear to be correct. Once. If they can't fix it after that, too bad.

I had something similar happen at an apartment I rented. When I went to move out, I thought I owed them money. They didn't think so. I told 'em one last time. I was told that if they didn't think so, I didn't owe... so I left

It is a dilemma. The half-way answer is probably to keep it safe if needed in something that will earn you interest. Unless you can think of a good reason why they gave you more money... could be a bonus thingie or something.

Well the only other thing I could add is that I have had alot of trouble in the past with my pay stub. Not getting the right hours and no OT. So it is a never ending problem. I have left messages with the payroll and have never got any comment back from them. So I think I have decided that I will keep the extra cash and see what happens. Man I still feel bad.

[wellard]

Mack_Attack the extra payment is a pay readjustment for all the times they screwed you. pocket the money and do not look back

At my workplace i've been underpaid about thirty or so times and overpaid only twice, sort of like a supermarket checkout the mistakes always seem to be in there favour .... odd that is'nt it
