Paychecks are more fun when you're paid by the hour, because each paycheck is a different amount. It's exciting to open up the envelope and see what amount you get each week. If you're on salary, it's not so exciting. You get the same figure week in and week out. It's probably direct deposit, which means you don't even get to hold something meaningful in your hand. I think the company should randomize the amount salaried employees get paid each week. It would all work out even by the year's end, of course, but the weekly amount could be anything. One week, "Hooray! I got four thousand dollars!" Another week, "Aw man, five bucks for the third week in a row. I got bills to pay!"
