So did i basically just lose money or do you think i can ask for another one from my boss, lol am i just dreaming?

Answer 1

I suggest you go to your boss immediately and tell him/her that you lost the check they gave you.

You might be asked to execute an affidavit of loss by your boss becuase the drawee bank might require it when your boss reports the lost check.

Provided the check has not been negotiated yet,  the bank can put a stop-payment order on the check.

Once the stop-payment order has been effected, you can ask from your boss a replacement for your lost check.

Answer 2

Tell your boss you lost it and need it replaced.  The company will have to put a stop-payment on the first check.  They may charge you for that.
