I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's a whole lot of silliness right there. And not the fun kind.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Am I crazy that individual cards would be easier in a lot of ways?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

They are probably worried about the 'moral hazard' of giving folks a credit card they are free to use for work. Which is stupid, but then I think most 'moral hazard' arguments are stupid.

The assumption that your employees inherently can't be trusted.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

i'm so glad for the good news about -t's coworker's son and about your friend, amyth.

Nope.

It's not like they'll pay the bills no questions asked, you still have to justify your expenses. At least, that's how it should work.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

We just ask the office manager for the company card number or a blank check when something needs to be bought, but given that our total number of employees barely cracks two digits it's not that big a hardship to have purchases go through one person since she's the one who tracks and reconciles expenses anyway.

My god, why is it only Wednesday?

But at least I was able to salvage the potential horror of a backup process failing to actually backup important data and lying to my face by creating the folders where that data should have gone. I now know you can access the folders that are saved in computer restore points and extract the information. And the nice man forgave me for temporarily losing three years of his company's data and a half-million-dollar project for a new client.

But so much more accountability.

ION - hey, I got a raise! But actually honestly more important to me, I got my team member who got shafted last year a raise! I may have burned all my bridges with HR over this, but it worked!

I mean, I'll take the money and appreciate the recognition, no lie. But K's raise is more of a JUSTICE IS DONE moment for me.
