getPaid is a little python project I created in an evening recently when it came to my attention that I had no idea whether I was getting paid in the correct amount I was supposed to. Being the bright-eyed and bushy-tailed second-year college student that I am, I began sifting through Google Calendar APIs until I had a working proof of concept: getPaid. The program is simple. After authenticating the program to view and edit your Google Calendar, the program looks for all calendar events with a user-supplied name (“work shift” in my case). The program asks for the start and end date of your pay period (mm/dd/yyyy; let freedom ring); it then totals worked hours and multiplies that by a user-supplied pay rate. Simple, fun, and useful tools like this are just my favorite type of development. Check out getPaid on Github here!
