I feel stuck. I have a problem at work with getting my payroll T account to balance. I have been over the numbers a bunch of times. I am probably making some silly error in arithmetic that could easily be solved if someone else took a look at it. I asked the company controller to go over my math but she said she couldn't today. She said take your time and if you can't concentrate today put it aside until another day. (Basically she isn't going to help me with it.) She always says she welcomes my questions but then when I do go to her for help, she does not help me.

So I reached out to our outside accountants. My main guy is talking with another client right now but he is supposed to call me back. My controller hates when I go to them for help because of course it costs us money. But I have been working on this for like 3 hours and I cannot find my mistake. And if I can't get help from her, I don't know what else to do.

I'm frustrated with myself for not being able to figure it out and I am frustrated with the controller because she never helps me. I hope our outside accountants get back to me soon. I'd like to finish this project today. I'll shoot him an email too in case he didn't get my phone message.
