SCENE: Friday morning at the office. Twit looking at her electronic pay stub.
Twit: I think there's something wrong with my paycheck!
Grumples: Hmmmm? (Feigns interest by quickly glancing over at Twit)
Twit: I think something is wrong with my benefits. I'm only supposed to be paying $90 for the baby. It went from $900 to $600 in two weeks!
Grumples: Well, you did code half your time sheet as "leave without pay."
Twit: No I didn't!
Grumples (with glee): Yes, here is your timesheet and the report that you verified was correct before the time was officially submitted.
Twit: Oh.
Grumples: (Big smile and direct eye contact)
Twit: Oh, see how the LWP code is right next to the "regular" code? I guess I got off a line.
Grumples: Ooom, hmmmm. You verified the report.
Twit: You put me in a rush to check over the report. I only had ten minutes.
Grumples: You coded your own timesheet.
Twit: I mean, I know it is my fault, but I guess when I was hurried in to checking the report I must have looked over my time.
Grumples: ...
Twit (near tears): Who should I talk to about getting this fixed?
Grumples: I'll handle it.
[Thus another round of making fun of Twit begins as me and HR do stupid work to get her a check cut--sadly, oh so sadly, we won't be able to get a check cut for her until Monday. We all agree that it is very classy of her to try to blame me for rushing her through her own bi-weekly job. Poor thing.]
