Yeah, the HR guy asked if I wanted my cell phone on my business cards and my reply was basically "Not if they aren't paying for it"

Yeah, our new travel policy explicitly states we are not getting our cellphones reimbursed. Which we all went "Bzuh?" at, since currently we get up to $75 a month (just have to remember to send in the bill every month). We all kinda thought "Well, given how we travel, if you don't pay for it, I"m not using it for work. Which is going to make it hella hard to get a hold of me..." (ETA: Bosses have currently said that does not apply, and I haven't been testing the new $120/day meal policy either (currently $70))

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

It depends on what they ask of you. For me, I just had to install the Good app, which I've found is actually pretty useful because I can easily check my work e-mail and shoot off quick responses on my way to the office so I feel like I am clocked in and, most importantly, it has my calendar. Which has the numbers for the conference calls I usually end up taking on my way to the office. But it is made of magic! Because when you click on the number to call in, IT CAN ALSO ADD THE CONFERENCE CODE.

Which we all went "Bzuh?" at, since currently we get up to $75 a month (just have to remember to send in the bill every month).

Yep, that's the same thing we have. Glad to see it's sweeping the industry!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Does anyone have scrappy's cell? I desperately need to talk to Jason. I am having the most fucked up car issue and I'm scared and panicking and I think he'll tell me what I should say.

We have $100/day, but $150/day in expensive cities. Like Chicago. So when we went to Moto, we used our entire per diem on that one meal and paid the difference.

Anyone seen Consuela today? I'm picturing her and Nemesis locked in battle somewhere ...

Jesus, the storm to the north is nasty. It's gone from the armageddon pink to white on the radar.
