2 weeks but more because I’m a piss-head who spends a lot in the pub. It’s my own fault

I’ve worked quite a few different jobs and had to work with different salaries but at the moment and with the way things are economically right now 17/18 days is about as far as it reaches. I tried to get an advance last month but there was one silly excuse after the other as-to why my dashboard hadn’t been updated (and it still hasn’t) so I’m just living from pay-check to pay-check at the moment. Savings definitely come in handy but I’m the sort of person who actually likes to let savings be savings and reserve them for a rainy day or something important. It takes forever and a day just to get anywhere with this current company. Just to get anywhere. So you just have to be extremely patient.
