What's the cutoff for how late you'd get home on Thursday and expense dinner? Time zone situation crossing west to east, flight leaves before dinner but lands after. No good meal in flight.

Literally any time. The concept is that you're gone so u can/shouldn't have to prepare the food for yourself.

Is this a serious question? Expense dinner always on Thursday.

If I eat dinner before my flight lands.

I'd be bringing onboard food from the airport.

Okay, glad people agree. Another consultant on the project seemed shocked I even considered expensing dinner... Figured it made sense because we land so late

I land, travel home. Go to store. Buy dinner. Expense it on Thursday nights. How else am I supposed to eat that meal?!

Buying a meal after you get home isn't a meal while traveling. That should never be expended.

*expensed

Ok. Then, "I pick it up on the way home from the airport."

I was working at a Hotel one night & I saw a man appearing on two different floors, then in the stairwell. The man was in his 70’s or 80’s. He was wearing nothing but tidy whiteys. When he got to the front desk I asked “is everything alright? Are you okay?” (Assuming he may be senile),He wasn’t senile, he went swimming & wanted to make me uncomfortable and started to flirt while in his sopping wet see through tidy whiteys- and of course I had to clean up the water he tracked through the lobby.

Hi all,

I just got a job with Delta airlines and I had an accomodation request to work remotely as I am Immunocompromised. I provided all the neccesary documents to back up my request and letters and documents from my Dr. aswell. My request was denied because the team said they wanted me to have face time and one on one interactions with people from other team (which defeats the purpose of my request) because I have to limit those interactions to reduce the risk of infection. What do I do?

Reposting from litigation bowl. Question about patent term extension. Let's say the patent covers i) product A and ii) A in combination with B. PTE is granted based on the combination of A and B. This is the first marketing approval of A. Would the extended patent cover someone using combination A and C? I don't think so but would love to have input.

Is it the same answer if someone else was using A, B, and C?
