Instead, I'm spending time with a person I barely know, or maybe sorta know, or hell that I don't even like. And I'm using that time to drum up business for my company, and not for my own personal bottom line.

Guess what, if I'm going to be doing this, I'd better be at least compensated with a damn meal.

Also re: misogyny. Do I get points for calling Stelmach a dumbass?

Edit: Had to look up what See You Next Tuesday meant. Conclusion: That's way too much work to throw such a stupid insult!

Edit 2: And can we really call a dude a witch as an insult? Witches are female. I suppose we can use Warlocks as the male equivalent?

I was always commenting on government officials expensing various things, not private sector tax write offs. It was others who kept chaning the topic to CEOs, wining and dining clients and the like. I don't have clients to take out to dinner or anything like that, but that's also not what I was talking about.
