Expenses
(sometime contracted to
"exes"
)is a term in
British office speak
used to refer to the
attributable treats
, out of pocket expenditures and miscellaneous other perquisites of the
9 to 5 office worker
's existence such as expenditure incurred in travelling to outlying branches (or, conversely to head office if your place of languishment should be some dim and dismal outpost of the
corporate empire
), and just occasionally the decent lunch paid for by the company when entertaining some visiting and significant customer or
panjandrum
. The unfortunate
logical corollary
of expenses is the
expenses form
, a salutary reminder of the implicit
moral culpability
of the spending of
company money
usually to be
completed in triplicate
,
signed in blood
and
delivered with head bowed and upon bended knee
to the
accounts department
. In order to reinforce the notion that the incurring of expenses is an undesirable trait in an
employee
, the process of reimbursement is a slow and laborious process, hedged around with the ever present possibility that the
accounting ninja
s may decide that your claim is frivolous or unwarranted and you will end up in that most undesirable of predicaments,
out of pocket
.
