	Coffee? I don't know. A lot. Drink of choice at work today and then I just told Gravesy to keep the pot fresh. No dinner yet. It's three? In the morning? a sigh I should say hello to you properly. a rustle (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

And something to drink. Not coffee. Water, and... a mug of hot milk with honey and cardamom. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If you're sure...

Oh. Right. Someone from accounting quit yesterday with no notice, but no one knew. Not until today. And pay packets were supposed to go, but they didn't. And that's from the Q and that's from my account and now... I have to find what he did with the money so I can reimburse myself and be able to explain all the shifting of money from one account to another to the goblins on Monday and *that* is a copy of an advertisement for replacements.

Well, it's in the main vaults, but there's the actual money in the vaults and where it is on the spreadsheets and really where it is on the spreadsheets is just as important if mot more important than where it is actually in the vault.

*a sigh* Each pay period, the money for the pay packets is transferred into a special account from which they're issued and then that account returns to zero. None of the payroll for this period was done, the money never transferred, the packets never cut. I have to go in tomorrow and distribute cheques cut from my account because there's no way to get this resolved before Gringotts opens on Monday, not for the employees at any rate. And then all this paperwork needs to be finished before Monday, so I can go into Gringotts and sort out this whole mess there.

*a deep, shaky breath*

	Merlin, and you've been working on this all day? a rustle How much more still needs to be done? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

It's a mess. Over a week of things not done. At least the magical time system keeps track of who worked when and for how long. I'm not even worrying about freelancers until Monday. I've drafter a letter and sent it out already... So, yes, most of the day and then I needed to bring some home.

I'm sorry. This really is important. I know that some of my employees live from packet to packet.

	Fuck, that's terrible. That's just, yeah, I know what that's like. But it's 3am. You've been up for almost 24 hours. Eat something and go to bed, yeah? You need to get some rest. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loopy_love 2009-08-15 07:53 am UTC (link)
	I should have known, but I didn't... a rustle I'm sorry. It's not the welcome that I wanted to give you. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

*a rustle* Merlin, Luna, how could you have known? It's not like bosses expect employees to cram the snitch.

I can't say I'm not disappointed, but there are more important things and the first is getting something more than coffee into you and tucking you in to bed. You're going to be working on this tomorrow, yeah? You can spare the hours to sleep. You have to or you won't be able to add straight, yeah?

	I suppose, but this is important, and it feels like it's my failure. It is my failure. And now I have to replace at least one accountant. I'm not hungry. Not really. I am tired though. I think. I'm tired, but I'm very awake. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	upuaut 2009-08-15 08:05 am UTC (link)
	Oh, Luna.... Just try a bite of something, you're so full of coffee I'm surprised you're not bouncing off the walls. A bit of food will help settle you. Come on, I'll take you up to bed and Gravesy can bring everything up to us. And you'll drink some of that hot milk, and if we have to there's some Dreamless Sleep to take the edge off the coffee buzz. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loopy_love 2009-08-15 08:08 am UTC (link)
	All right. I suppose that it can't hurt. Just a bite, I'm really not that hungry. It's much too late for Dreamless Sleep. I'll do fine since you're home. I won't even need to borrow one of your jumpers. a rustle (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	upuaut 2009-08-15 08:11 am UTC (link)
	Just a bite. It's better for your stomach, yeah? a rustle and a creak of sofa springs and then a louder creak of sofa springs and departing footsteps We'll just have to rely on the hot milk, then. And then you can sleep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	another rustle and a soft kiss I'm glad you're home even if it's not how we were planning to spend your rare Saturday off. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
