what happened to my 113 hours?

yesterday, i realized that the check issued to me was short of an amount equivalent to 113 hours of service. i asked the operations manager nicely why that is so, but even he was baffled and said that that shouldn’t have happened. must be an oversight somewhere.
but the whole situation is kind of a downer and it makes me not want to show up until that is rectified. but it’s not really the boss’s fault, most likely an accounting error, still…
maybe i should just rock up to the main office and sit there until they hand me a check.
office: this might take a while. we’ll call you when it’s ready.
me: that’s ok, i have time.
office: might even take a whole day.
me: that’s alright, i’ll wait here until 5pm then. (open a magazine and start reading editorial)
office: but i’m afraid you might waste your time if it is not ready by 5pm.
me: oh, do you need more time? i can wait until… (glance at wristwatch) 5:30. ok, i’ll just be right here. (cross legs and get back to magazine)
oh well, i don’t want to be mean. it must be an honest mistake. i’m sure the whole thing can’t be that bad.
still, man…
say a little something
