Not Adding Up

She walked in, grabbed the keyboard out from under my hand, spun the monitor around, and typed furiously for several seconds and then spun the monitor back around. Lines of numbers filled it.


I looked between the screen and her face for several seconds.


"Can I buy a vowel or something?"


"The numbers aren't adding up! Someone is embezzling thousands from current accounts!"


I looked again, and now that I knew what I was looking at, I saw it too.


I thanked her, and launched a full investigation, thus totally missing her stealing from the much larger infrastructure upkeep accounts.
