Payout Haiku
''Paid''? Right...where is it? Not a dime deposited. Where is the money? Note: okay, some of you might be wondering what is on the mind of your favourite Canadian also-ran. I have been volunteering, teaching online, and I finally caved and asked for my earnings from Vocal...and they paid me. But Stripe still says I have to wait. I really hope this is because of the movement from one currency to another, but I won't hold my breath. I also discovered that a student will be on vacation for two weeks, so no extra money will be coming in for August. And three weeks to go before we begin regular college work.
