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.

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
(ETA: Bosses have currently said that does not apply, and I haven't been testing the new $120/day meal policy either (currently $70))
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.

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

I hate hate hate that our "corporate" cards are Amex, which essentially means you are using your own card. I mean, I think if you get the actual corporate card they pay the fee, but the debt obligation is all yours.
I'm pretty sure our meal per diem is well under $100/day. Also, I think your tips are supposed to be 10-15%. The joy of having corporate in MN I guess.

Wow, that's not bad! I usually am traveling enough that it doesn't work out too badly--which is to say, I might spend $40 on a nice dinner (our max), but am unlikely to also in the same day be able to have a nice breakfast and nice lunch--more likely Starbucks and McDonald's, or airport food! So only a few times have I hit up against the $70 limit--sometimes if I want to have a $25 entree AND wine AND dessert AND tip...then I've paid the difference. I guess if I were getting room service it would be tough. And likewise, if I were somewhere for days on end and not rushing around, I might go nicer places for breakfast or lunch, but usually I'm in a hurry and eating a hospital cafeterias and I'm not a morning person so breakfast is a rush anyway.
I have my work calendar sync'd to the iPhone (through Gcal) because I need the scheduling and teleconferences like P-C. But I'm not sure I want work email on it--useful, but then I'd feel compelled to respond and start hating the tiny keyboard and reading space. What is the Good app?

We also have Amex, and yeah.
And that was the other thing our new-maybe-not-actually-in-motion policy changed was "tips should not be more than 15%" to "tips may be 15-20%".
Though one coworker said for a certain project she's working on with an Australian company, they won't pay for alcohol or tips more than 15%. Which, the alcohol is annoying but not shocking (Though Australia?) but they also have to sign a PLEDGE that they haven't had any wine at that meal even paid for separately. WTF?
