My day to return. No one else is here. I don't think I am long for the office today.

Trying to burn up the last (minus carryover) of the PTO this year. This is the one time of year pretty much everything is shut down on the RR contractor end of things. Going to stay home until the 2nd.
Too late for Festivus, but I'm pretty confused by a recent change in our business expense form with work. I need to file one for each time I travel to the HQ, and when I was ready to file the most recent trip, every expense was flagged as needing a "business purpose" filled in. We already provide a business purpose for the trip, but for every expense? I'm going to find out if "I was hungry.", "I had to park my car." and other duh responses will be approved or not.
My expense report was just approved; I just filled in the new "business purpose" field with the same information from the "expense type" field. So there, Concur -- suck on it.
Part of me has been wondering why Derek Falvey has not moved on from the Twins. I guess one perk he has is he gets a few months off from Christmas to the week or so before Spring Training.
Front office executives usually only change organizations as part of a promotion. Falvey was already at the top with no higher baseball positions possible and he added the other POB(usiness)O title this season so it seems he will stick with it for a long time. Most fans dream of big free agents; we dream of better owners for next year's free agency.

Nobody is looking at that field on the form…
Sounds like Concur. They’re always tinkering with ours.
*ding* You control the board!
We've got that. Which reminds me, I have overdue expenses...
Yikes, I have to submit my Q4 expense report for phone and internet before end of month or I don't get my allowance.
I should say, we have that field, but it's not required. Or at least not often. Don't have to explain the purpose of my Chrunchwrap Supreme at least.

We do have to put one in the expense report header, but it strangely ends up being the same as the report name for me.
"Ensuring appropriate blood sugar levels for optimal afternoon performance."
Oooh, there's some quality snark!

Looks like he'll continue to have some free time in October as well.
🤣
