Chalking it up

I am having an issue with my boss. It started on Friday, when we received some year end bonus stuff. It didn't all come, or so he had said. Then he tried to tell me that we didn't qualify for the whole package. Right. What doesn't he get about me being a single parent and I count every flipping penny that comes in or out of my life? Does he really think that I wouldn't know exactly what was due to me and when? The bonus ran all year long. Three other quarters had passed, I knew this structure and what result we ended up with. I worked my butt off for it, and damn if I don't expect to get it.

I stewed on about it for most of the weekend. I thought about it at home while I was on my back in bed yesterday. And today...I want to say something. I want him to "check on it" and tell me what happened. If he decided to give some of this bonus to his wife and friends like last time, then say so. At least be honest about his jerk ways rather than treating like I am some uneducated and floudering girl that just answers the phone. And if he did give it away to someone else...then I hope they had fun on my hard work and time. I appreciate the other little "gifty" thing I got as part of the bonus, but I hardly think that the grocery clerk is going to take a tire pressure guage as trade for a gallon of milk.

Hmmfh.
