Meeting
I just had the most retarded meeting ever. This is actually an accomplishment, as all our meetings are fairly retarded. My manager spent the hour talking about expense accounts, and security. It's amazing how cumbersome something can become when upper management works at making the bureaucracy impenetrable; this appears to be their job.
I've never gone on business travel and I have never had to expense something while working at The Company. The only time I did have to expense something it was when I worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory and I asked my boss if we could have another camel for the office. My boss told me to go to R'Books and use the department charge code. When I got there, I didn't have to provide any proof that I had the authorization to use that charge code either.
I suppose that was before all the procurement scandals though. Things would be different now.
