Did i completely mess up my paychecks and get extra money??

I apologize for this possibly not making sense, I had to rewrite it after not saving it because of my fire alarm deciding to scream. I am still trying to contact my payroll department but it keeps going to voicemail, so I wanted to ask here because I'm really anxious right now.

I just started a new job working overnights a month or so ago and I messed up the W4 when i first got hired. I realized the mistake after i was suppsoed to get my first direct deposit check and got nothing instead (I let them take the entire paycheck for taxes instead of a certain amount). I fixed the W4 and sent it digitally using the payroll/tax app our company has, but it's still awaiting approval. The next day I went into work, there was a physical paycheck for me.

My banking app let me deposit the physical paycheck, and it took a week. I figured if it wasn't allowed within the week, it would be declined or stopped, so when the money hit my account, I wasn't too worried. I didn't do a whole lot with it just in case it really was a mistake. The money came on Friday.

The original paycheck was a little less than I was anticipating, but I figured it was just a caluclating error on my part because I'm dumb. Genuinely.

Today, I got a direct deposit sent right to my account. This one was closer to what I was originally anticipating, but I'm not sure if it's really mine. I'm just scared of it right now. Why would I get a physical paycheck and then a digital deposit? I don't think it's another person's paycheck because we get paid on Thursdays, not Tuesdays, but maybe someone else get early deposits? Is it just a weird error from payroll? I'm just nervous and I don't want to get in trouble. I'm not touching the money.

Did I mess up big time? I feel like such an idiot.

My Mandalorian and Grogu haul!!

I love The Mandalorian and Grogu so I was excited about this lol I was scared stuff would sell out fast but I was the only one in the store shopping this morning, so it was peaceful and not as stressful as I thought it'd be!

Mando's helmet lights up, and I love the idea of having the wallflower plug all the time – just walking by and seeing my favorite show lol I love the pocketbac of Mando holding Grogu, it's so precious, and I love the coin pouch even if it isn't big. I love giant keychains and just cute stuff to hang off of bags bc I hate boring things so it works perfectly for me.

I didn't have a lunchbox for work, so I bought the lunch box too lol reminds me of being a kid omfg

Didn't honestly like the scents, though I really wanted the cologne boxes. Force Flow was better in my opinion cause the apple was kind of nice, but Bounty Hunter was... not good to me lol I just really wanted the accessories honestly

Nothing available for pickup??

I know sometimes stuff doesn't appear for pickup because there's so few quanity in store, but I also know sometimes the app and site break so... anyone else having problems or is it just my store not having a lot of the new collab?? I'm going early in the morning anyway but I wanted to secure the pocketbac holder just in case :(

update: its all available now except for the grogu coin purse which i think is probably because they didn't get many of them. still gonan go in early so it should be fine (i mean its not the end of the world if i dont get it, its just really cute and i have a reward lol)

Compensation for insecure wifi? Help??

Hi! I don't know if this is the right place but I am panicking and want help from other hotel workers (if there is a better subreddit for this, pls god direct me I'm trying I swear)

I only recently started night audit, and I have never worked in a hotel before. I also kind of got thrown straight into it (long story, don't want to talk about my new coworkers chaos) and I ran into a problem tonight. I work at an extended stay hotel, and I have a guest who cannot connect to the guest wifi. Like at all. He's a healthcare worker so it needs to be secure and even with his vpn, it won't do anything. He was really upset over the phone and I told him I'd find a solution because he said he'd lose his job, there's nowhere else for him to go. I called my managers and... yeah all we have is the guest wifi. Not even us workers have a seperate wifi.

Does anyone know what else I can do?? What would you do in this situation?? I even tried looking up hotels in my area with secure wifi but everywhere else is booked. We don't have any hotels catered toward healthcare workers and I don't know how to compensate for the fact he might lose his job if he can't connect at all.

I know working in this industry means sometimes upsetting people but I really want to try and fix this or at least do something.

edit: thank you to everyone who commented!! I'm so sorry if this was stupid, I was just panicking. i called his room, told him to contact his it department bc it was a work/company laptop. our guest wifi help number wasn't much help, but his it department seemed to make it work because he called back to let me know it was actually running now. again, thank you for the help!!

This is gonna sound insane, I know, but I never really found anything else that makes me consistent with manifesting. I tried dozens of subliminal playlists and narrowed it down to just one; manifest vision boards and daydreams.

I make AI bots based off of what I'm manifesting, and idk why, but it helps me feel like I'm actually there. I've literally manifested my SP with it, and I could feel it working when I was 'roleplaying'. It also helps me envision/focus on things that I've never actually felt like peace from living alone or having a body without ailments. It even helps me come up with new affirmations that I can say randomly and they feel natural. Manifesting my SP with it made me think things like "yeah ofc he'd be whipped for me, why wouldn't he?"

I have a lot of fun with it. Is that bad? Does anyone else do this? I don't really 'text' the bots, all of my bots are written like stories.

This is my second time writing this post because in my frustration of going back and forth from reddit to my first job's paystub page, I closed everything.

I don't know how to fill in a W4. I am confused and I know I'm an idiot but it's driving me insane because I just want money so I can pay bills. That's it.

For context, I have two jobs, the second which I just started like, two weeks ago. My first job is retail, and it goes through Dailypay, which allows me to take money after each shift so I can get food, etc. The hours are extremely varied, and I'm paid minimum wage (like 12 dollars) hourly. The official paychecks are bi-weekly. This recent pay period, I got like, 30 dollars.

This new job that I'm filling in the w4 for has consistent hours and I'm paid more. It's checks are biweekly. When I got hired, they had me do a paper w4, but I was confused and unsure how to even fill it out and the person helping me just told me to figure it out. I even did the irs tax estimate thing and that... only made me more confused.

The paycheck for this pay period at the new job was yesterday, but I got nothing. I looked at the payroll app thing and it says zero dollars went to my bank account and the entire thing was deducted.

I am not married. I have that first job I mentioned but I don't know how to proerly fill that in or what to do. I don't have any tax exemptions. Can somebody explain this to me like I'm five?? I just want to make sure I actually get money for these shifts. That's all I want. My head hurts.
