There's no better day than payday!

The collective 'woohoo' of the workforce can be heard all the way down the halls into the accounting office and there isn't a single employee on earth who doesn't celebrate the fruits of their labor.

Obviously, we need money to function. But after a lifetime in the workforce and with a pile of bills stacking up on the counter, the workingman (occasionally) rues the existence of such convenient wares, like cash. If there were some way to get by on trade alone, trust me, minimum-wage employees would have made it happen by now. Alas, we live in a society where the wheels turn via those greenback dollars we work so hard every week to accumulate. Even while the 'shareholders' and 'silent investors' are watching their millions stack up in the treasure troves in Geneva, they'll never understand the simplest pleasures of their lowly workers: Payday.

So if you're a biweekly paycheck kind of employee or a salaried type of worker, you'll understand the pure bliss of the upcoming paycheck hitting your accounts. Because when the direct deposit hits, we'll be riding the gravy train all weekend.
