My direct deposit is active after all! I checked my bank statement online late Thursday night, i.e. Friday morning, and it didn't reflect Friday's paycheck, so I thought, bummer, I'll have to deposit this one myself and hope it goes through next time, because I got them to waive the monthly fee on my account for January and February, but not March. And this is still February, so hooray!
