*Trust* me, when I wore a corset to my cousin's trans* Hasidic second line furry wedding, it was clear what a racially charged issue a corset was.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The risk of not suffering imposter syndrome is of proving Dunning-Kruger right.

my cousin's trans* Hasidic second line furry wedding
best story ever. like my ex-nun gay recovering alcoholic ex-boss, instant conversation starter.
ION, I am organizing everything I can at work. I should probably actually get more to-do things out of my in-box though.
I hate that my boss is back on Wednesday. I hate my boss.

Just the phrase "trans* Hasidic second line furry wedding" is fraught with possibility.

I *would* have impostor syndrome, if anyone expected me to be anything. I would have no problem reading something, but the invite is bossy and annoying.

My university has a policy that the person who PURCHASES gift cards for employees will be taxed on them if they are reimbursed. Does that seem weird?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Tom, I agree with the slide show idea.

Um, that's ridiculous. That's like getting taxed on my reimbursed travel expenses.
Your gift-card-purchaser is in no way better off after the transaction (purchase & reimbursement) than they were before. How is that taxable income?

This is our statement:
In lieu of cash received through Payroll, and employee may wish to give gift certificates to other employees. In this situation the employee who purchased the gift certificates and is requesting reimbursement will be responsible for the taxes associated with the reimbursement since the IRS considers gift certificates cash equivalent income.
I really don't even understand how it is logical. Also, I think the statement could use some hyphens and commas.

If it were the recipient getting taxed, that would be in line with my experience.
But in fact I have seen certain travel expenses taxed, particularly lunches. The theory, as I understand it, is that it is an expense you would have incurred anyway in the course of a normal business day. Unlike dinner or breakfast, where it's assumed you would otherwise have eaten at home from already purchased groceries, or your personal farm, or something. (A lunch meeting is a different case again.)
At my current firm, we can't get lunch reibursed when travelling in the first place, neatly avoiding the taxation issue.
