I just had an expenses claim for the last course I taught returned to me with a query attached.
The query stated 'I think there may have been some confusion. Is this really what you offered the parents during the coffee breaks?'.
I was expecting the receipt to read something along the lines of:
2 packs of custard creams
2 packs of Hobs Nobs
Some random slightly posher chocolate biscuits.
80 PG Tips
and a jar of Kenco
The receipt actually read:
2 bottles of Merlot
Various varieties of humus
A crate of Strongbow
and
58 pull-up nappy-pants.
Oh dear god.
Putting right receipt in envelope - FAIL. Even I am blushing. A window into the reality of my life thrown wide.
The woman in charge of the expenses had then kindly written:
'You have not enclosed any receipts for your lunch allowance. I did try to work out a lunch claim for you from this, but I just couldn't. Please advise'.
Well I don't know, I've seen worse looking lunches......
Now I just need to try and find the original, correct receipt.
I maybe some time.....

I prefer your version to the actual biscuits and coffee.
ReplyDeleteI'm OK with the wine, humus and strongbow - but what do the nappies taste like??
