Pittsburgh is stored in the balls.

Important questions that will determine how high on the hog you get to live.

What is your reimbursement rate for meals? Is it per meal or a flat per diem? Do you have a per diem for being on a trip in addition to the food reimbursement?

When I was an accountant, we had a guy that was just a salesman in Michigan that got $50 / day for meals, regardless of what he ate, and $.50 per mile for driving. If he took a customer out to eat the entire bill was comped, as long as he sent in a receipt. I feel like this is a good baseline to shoot for going forward.

the problem with Lansing is that all the restaurants seem kind of crappy

Yeah, looking at the top 10 they had on a google search, there was one Myanmar restaurant that looked like it could be worth a visit.

Check that place out Tuesday evening.

today I will go stand in the freezing cold server room again

but first I am headed to the Starbucks that is built into the hotel

caramel macchiatos for all!



the customer is expecting us around 9am so we have time to eat breakfast, drink our coffee and take a morning dump

I find that keeping my normal pooping routine while on the road makes me feel more at home

just sit back and get up to date on current events (and cat memes, thanks today show) and enjoy breakfast, fellas
