I try to stay away from work related posts in my blog for a couple of reasons–the main one being that most work related posts would put your ass to sleep. I work in accounting for corn sakes!
Rarely do I have anything to vent about because even though this is far from my dream job, I have a great department.
Today, I’m venting.
Dear Employee,
If you would like to get reimbursed, FILL OUT YOUR OWN DAMN EXPENSE REPORT, ATTACH THE RECEIPTS AND APPROVAL PROPERLY, AND SHUT THE FUCK UP. If you do not want to get reimbursed, go ahead and email me the expense report, mail your wadded up receipts separately, and then send me a note asking me to get the approval for you. I’ll get right on top of that. Using “please” and “thank you” when asking me to put together YOUR expense report does not endear me to you and it does not make me change my mind. Neither does promising that this is your last time and putting a 🙂 in your email. And making a smart ass comment about me being unable to hit print will not work in your favor–I promise. 🙂
You’re grown folks…all of you. If you wanna get reimburse, you’ll by God put together your own reports and they’ll be legible. And you won’t bitch at me when I deduct an expense because you “accidentally left the receipt off”. Wah. Expense it next month and shut the fuck up.
Sincerely,
Melissa, not your mother-fucking babysitter, Francis
Okay, less ventful blog tomorrow.

You know, I’ve decided the dropping the F-bomb in your blog multiple times must release a large amount of melatonin, because I sure felt a helluva lot better after I posted this. LOL!

Also, any song with the F-word does the trick. You’re Crazy by G&R is a good one.

I love it when you talk like that… Would you do the same for me but substitute the word “expenses” with “finish the damn book”…
XXOO,

If you think expense reports are fun, try doing international taxes. We thought we had everything covered by the company’s HR guy is an idiot and we’ve been docked a considerable sum of money because he dumps all this on a poor payroll clerk, then doesn’t give her any direction. Oh, and did I mention that he didn’t even bother to respond to my DH until the CEO crawled down his a$$????
GRRRRRR!
