Our annual conference has started, and so has company reimbursement for my meals and transportation. Yesterday I took a cab with some coworkers from the location of a board-staff reception to the hotel where our conference is taking place. We asked the beleaguered driver for a dollar in change and three receipts.
Due to the conference, I'll be working long days every day until next Friday, so posting will continue to be spotty and/or short. Please stick with me--I'll definitely be back to full strength soon. Enjoy your weekend!

What's worse is my best friend and I take forever to figure it out at lunch each week--and we were both accountants!
@Syd,
There was an accountant present at the lunch that inspired this post--sadly, it still took us exactly thirteen minutes to figure out what everyone owed (people who weren't accountants kept trying to do the math).
What I hate is the people who are like, Oh I think I'll give you this much (when their bill was a bit higher).
I feel like, if I'm putting in money, round up. !!
@GG: Yeah, there's always that one person who does that...I hate it when I've ALREADY rounded up and then at the end we're a couple dollars short and I have to cough up more while someone who shorted their part is sitting their quietly. Not that I'm bitter, or anything. :)
The problem has been (not so much with friends as with co-workers) that people DON'T all order the same amount! Some are very extravagant and order steak and 3 high-priced drinks while I order a very minimal dinner with ice water. The "everybody pays the same amount" method can cost me 3x or more than the price of what I actually consumed, so I object and make them (grudglingly) figure it out individually.
