After all the rigamarole Sally caused by changing her tax status and then 10 other people followed suit, we have to re-enter all the timesheets which means payroll will be late! This has never happened before, I'll have to call the bank and investigate our options, it's already after 4:30, somebody better still be there...this is going to wreck my date tonight, if I'm going to be that late, I might as well not go at all...Sally is SUCH a bitch!"
