Moving on

I haven’t said anything about it, but as of a week ago, I have a new job.
Well, OK, it’s the same job I’ve been doing for the last three years. The “new” part of it is that I’ve been converted from “contractor” status to “regular” at Major Telecommunications Company Which Shall Remain Nameless.
Technically, I’m a manager now, and not even an first-level manager, but my duties are essentially the same. They can assign subordinates to me now, I guess, but I can’t imagine why they’d need to do so. I’m pretty sure I’d rather manage networks than people, anyway.
My first day as a regular was Friday the 15th, so in the mail today — for the first time in over 10 years — I received an actual physical paycheck… for one day’s work. The 15th was the last day of the MTCWSRN pay period.
I’ve done direct deposit for so long, I’m not sure I remember what to do with one of these things.
Congratulations!
