My company shares an office with another business. I dropped a plastic object while giving something to their receptionist and chipped the edge of their precious coffee table. It couldn't be repaired and he wants me to replace it. I offered to glue it, turn it around (it's against a wall), but evidently he's afraid clients will come in and say "Oh my god look at that 1/2" chip on the edge of your coffee table, I won't ever do business with you!!!" How vain. Yes I'm responsible, but I'm just an admin. asst. and he's a wealthy business owner - he could buy a $200 table and not notice the money was gone. To think this man invited me to church once - I won't EVER take him up on his offer now. No religious comments please. Oh yeah, christmas just passed, my kids need braces, their birthdays are coming up next month, and my car starter just went out on me. I do have a good relationship with my boss - should I involve him? How do I handle this? I don't want to ruin the business relationship.
