Why busy boss types should never be in charge of paychecks.

I told my boss this morning that I had to leave at 2 PM to get Z to the Social Security office to get her SocSec card updated with her married name. If we don't, Barnes & Noble can't put her on the payroll, meaning she can't yet collect a paycheck for any of the work she's done.

He and I had a decent conversation about how Z's enjoying her new job and what she does.

We talked about the paychecks that are to go out today, since our accountant (who normally handles these) took a vacation day and left the checks in my boss's hands.

I thought I made it abundantly clear. Apparently, I didn't, because at 2 PM I hadn't received my paycheck yet and my boss was out of the office. He came back at 3 PM with someone in tow and immediately started a meeting with them. It's now 3:20, and I haven't heard anything yet.

And the Social Security office closes at 4 PM.
