I absolutely hate it when
I absolutely hate it when they bum up your expense reports. They being 'da man' of course. It was just a few weeks ago that I had to pay a little over 200 bones out of my own pocket to bring my Corp AMEX current and float my company so that I could continue on a business trip. I filed another $430.00 or so last week that was not reimbursed this pay period. I have a grand or so in business travel on my AMEX, but I don't care so much about that as the shiznit I pay out of pocket. That's the stuff that really stings when they can't seem to process in a timely manner. Workin' for da man. Which reminds me of something I obviously thought inconsequential last night, but am reminded of this morning as I go through my finances. Both those guys I met from out of state that were here on business did the exact same thing... first they offered to hire me (assuring that they could pay me more that "whatever I was making") and when I politely turned them down, they both started preaching to me about my communication skills and intelligence and how I needed to start my own company. Now, I understand that bar talk is bar talk and people say things when they are under the alcofluence of infahol that they may not normally be inclined to say, but don't you think that is a little odd considering we just met and they nothing about me? I just chalk it up to drunken bullshit, but sometimes it's the little things like that that get you thinking. Workin' for da man... da nub.
I worked with a guy who spent 6 weeks in Japan on a special project. One of his expenses was “massage service.” He got that passed through by saying it was a typo, it was really message service and secretaries are very expensive in Japan. The fall of the mighty oil company.
happy ending?
