I think I’m going to walk into some hotels around here and see if they need anybody in housekeeping.

I have automated and simplified the process for people to turn in their invoices/receipts, the best I can. At most, submitting this paperwork takes 30 seconds...maybe a minute if users forget and need to reset their passwords. At this point, I'm assuming people aren't turning in these documents just to mess with me. That's a fair accusation, correct?
