Brenda, that's excellent!
Especially if it's a matter of book the travel in advance, have to pay the credit card bill before you even travel, and then wait a couple of weeks to be reimbursed after submitting the expense report. Sucks mightily.
My company does this now, too. I dislike it immensely. Plus, I don't even understand it. They're going to be paying for it anyway, why can't they just go on and do it instead of making me pay up front.
Oh, yeah, Bob has to pay for all of his travel up front which is usually several thousand dollars a month. It's a huge hassle.
We're 20 minutes into a cone-free session. It'll have to go back on eventually, I expect when I have to wipe the hotspot. But now she's napping without.
I had to use a company issued card for my trip to Spain. Which I no longer have. But they took forever to pay it, it was ridiculous.
Cone back on.
A bunch of Baltimore youth activists are staging a sit in to get the housing commissioner fired, money for schools and a meeting with mayor and police commissioner. I think I'm getting some of that wrong. But I love this city. The past few months' earthquakes have broken edges of this segregated city such that even this introvert has been able to connect with teens so outside my experience it's sadly laughable doing amazing things. Gives me a lot of hope, the conviction they have.
(Inside city hall, the sit in, that is.)
Being carpool again tomorrow. Maybe I can prep my brain?
sarameg, let me say that your passion for your city and especially your neighborhood and your openness and interest in others make your posts a delight to read. I am so glad I know you.
I was late to work this morning because my eggs took forever to cook (they probably actually weren't really cooked through when I gave up and ate some so I could get out the door, but I think my risk of salmonella is pretty low). Sometimes my life is particularly stupid and doesn't make a good story.
We have a scarecrow decorating contest at work this Halloween. I'm gonna have to give that some thought.
