This morning, my boss picked up a personal check of mine, which I left in the building by mistake. With a big grin, and in front of plenty of colleagues, she announced..."Look! I found three of these (untrue) and purchased a car with them. Hahahahah!"

Everyone looked puzzled and I was terribly embarrassed.

Nobody knew what she was talking about...but I felt very stupid. I told her that knowing I had left them on the floor was very concerning to me...It could have been a financial nightmare.

The whole incident creeped me out. Had MY assistant left a blank check and I had found it, I would have taken her aside, and said, "you may or may not know you've dropped this, but I recovered it. Are there any more that you know have gone missing?"

I'm probably reading too much into this (am I?) but it seems like a power play on my boss's part. I'm embarrassed and I am scheduled to meet with her in 10 minutes for our (painful) weekly check in.

HELP!!!!
