ACN: what's the deal with train reimbursement? It costs me $400 a month to get where client is. But it's the same mileage as driving to my home office. Can I expense that?

There's official ACN policy, then there's what your project allows. I often let local resources charge in their full mileage plus parking and tolls, even when ACN policy would not technically allow for it. Talk to your lead about it.

30 miles is probably considered within driving distance, so I'd use whatever the mileage cost would've been to drive as a baseline

Networking question here. A retired partner at the firm I used to work out reached out to me recently about attending an afternoon during the week (b4 4/30) with one of his long time clients. The partner and I have kept in touch since I joined my new firm and I feel like his invitation is a great networking opportunity since the client (who I have worked with before) is on a number of boards. Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
