Essay Collection -- Casa Lesbo -- Period

 

It's here. The dreaded PMS cycle has began.

Last night Skipper was all wound up......she was rummaging through every
trash bin in the neighborhood trying to find restaurant receipts! Apparently she had forgotten to save one from a business lunch, and couldn't get reimbursed without one! After she rummaged the bins to no avail, she started hitting up poor Chiquita. "You've got to have at least one! You're
always filing expense reports! Dammit! Give me one! Go find one! NOW!" I paused to
set my cocktail down on a coaster, then calmly informed her that my company doesn't require receipts for meals. They just give us a certain amount per
day wherever we go, and we have to stay within the limit. She popped a curler on that one! "Really! How do they know how much you're really spending?! You could probably claim $30 for eating at McDonald's!!" I removed my cocktail from the coaster, lifted to her and replied "Exactly."

With that, she gathered up her crutches and hobbled off to resume her rummaging. I giggled to myself as I bit into the olive.
