I ran into the same problem. All the decent hotel rooms near a customer site were booked up, so I bought a blanket from Target for $20 and slept in my car rather than sleep in a bug-infested motel for $100. I couldn't expense the blanket, though. (In the company's defense, I think this is due to tax laws making it too complicated for the company to allow, rather than any particular person's incompetence)
- bombcar 4y agoBuy something expensable (tech equipment often is, or even just drinks) and then photo the receipt, and return and buy the blanket. But that's technically fraud, heh.
- Firmwarrior 4y agoit's OK, I already wasted $20 worth of time reading HackerNews blog articles, haha
- HPsquared 4y agoYou'd probably have been ok if you destroyed the blanket after you were done with it. Maybe that's a business, certified destruction of items claimed on expenses.
