Pennyless Student Story: Not Getting Paid

I'm a TA for a course in Humanities, but have not been paid at all during this quarter (not only do we get paid shit, but sometimes we don't even get paid at all).

I've been to payroll, and they told me I was not even in the system. She told me they would try to make sure I'd be paid for January and February on March 1. That was 10 days ago, and I have not heard anything else from them. I also went to see the department secretary, who was also surprised I was not being paid, although there wasn't much she could do. By the way, thanks for the hard work of SG!
