Don't make me angry

I'm annoyed.

Just before five o'clock last night I got an email from the project manager of the invoicing project with a proposed layout for the wording on discounted invoices. It was cc-d to the finance director, so I wasn't too surprised to get a call from her shortly afterwards.

I was just about to tell her that the layout looked ok to me when she said that there was a problem with my expenses. To be precise I had claimed £10 for an eye test last month. I'd had the eye test when I was off on holiday and only realised when looking through the human resources bits on the intranet that users of display equipment were entitled to free eye tests.

Apparently I should have asked for a voucher first. It says that somewhere in the small print of the word document that I should have downloaded and read before I had my eyes tested. I've worked for this company for just over eleven years, and spent something in the region of a fifteen hundred pounds on glasses and eye tests in that time. This is the first time I have claimed for something that I am entitled too (and have been for all that time) and they are going to dock it off my next expenses claim.

How petty can you get. I am fuming over the mean mindedness of it. Grrr.
