My Boss Owes Me Money!

My Boss Owes Me Money!

Dear Cubicle Coach:

I lent my boss $80 in cash for a last-minute gift. A week later, she hasn't repaid me. I make one-fifth her salary, but I don't want to nag her.

Dear Strapped for Cash:

Chances are it just slipped her mind (bosses often live in a world of their own, starring themselves, directed by themselves, produced by themselves). How about, "This is embarrassing, but my cable bill is due and I'm a little strapped this month, but that $80 I lent you for Dana's waffle iron would just about cover it. When you get a chance."

Call me "CC," Cubicle Coach. I have been "you" and now I can hire "you." I have many years of experience playing the angles, doing the dance. In my time, I've seen 'em all - the strivers, the poseurs, the weasels, the Eeyores, and the precious few who "just get it." I'll tell it to you straight.
