Oh, god, you don't even want to know the insanity that is federal funding rules on per diem, food, etc.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Also we are not allowed to provide bottled water
Our company doesn't do bottled water either but it is part of our green corporate environment.
So, today is payday. I got two pay notices, the first with my usual pay plus OT and the second was notice of a Reward and Recognition bonus. No clue what project it is for or why someone deamed me worthy and my boss isn't online yet today. So I have the reward but no recognition so far today.

We can only order catering for a "special" meeting, not a standing meeting. So, we can't have coffee and bagels at a staff meeting that happens every month, but we can at an All School Meeting that happens once a year or so. However professors, Deans and directors can provide, and are encouraged to provide, food out of their own pockets. Well, with money from their own pockets-- I hope they do not put the food in their pockets.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was going to put food in my pockets yesterday when they kept bringing us more bread! But then I realized the rolls were only irresistible because they were warm. (I went out to lunch with coworkers.)

It seems really crazy to me to remove coffee makers as a cost-cutting measure. Like Sophia, people here bring their own pods.
This seems more like a person-in-charge-doesn't-like-seeing-employees-in-the-breakroom measure than a cost-cutting one. I suggest everyone staging a sleep-in the next time the person responsible is in the building.

Also we are not allowed to provide bottled water, only tap.
We had a presentation with a major client a while back and they put out both bottled water and pitchers of ice water. Our biggest competitor met with them the day before and, apparently, all bee-lined for the bottled stuff, despite the fact that one of the key topic areas was around sustainability. It was Pointedly Noticed.

Geoguess just gave me a place about an hour from here, and about 5 minutes from a friend's place.

Ours was couched as a green measure, but really was a cost-saving measure. It makes sense to me. Except that now people often don't provide water at all.
