work? no!

Well, we told 'em. "We don't work for free."
All three of us contractors -- that is to say, the entire department -- have gone home
our paychecks didn't come in yesterday
our paychecks didn't come in today
due to corporate retardation
girlwonder, the 20year old secretary, says "I'll do everything in my power to make them come in tomorrow"
bossman didn't say any such thing

i left my phone number,
i'll come back when they pay me
(unless i find another job first)
