Today I had to submit a financial form to the office. I work remotely, so I couldn't just fill it out and drop it by the finance person's office. The question was: how to get it there

Clearly you require a carrier pigeon!

I am attaching an email to a rhinoceros and sending it down the street to poke you with its horn.

Our current expense report system is a mixture of suck and non-suck. They got rid of the need to send in most receipts, except for hotel bills, and things over a surprisingly large dollar value.

The ones that still have to be sent in, like hotel bills, require that we print out a special cover sheet from within the (java) expense report app, and use it to fax the receipts in -- wherein they are converted to images, and a link to said images is mailed to us to verify receipt! The special coverpage includes a helpful barcode to facilitate this.

They were originally going to also allow electronic submission, but only if you sent it as a multi-page TIFF file. This apparently didn't work out and soon after release we were told to stop using this. I think that I once tried this, by faxing the documents to my electronic fax box, wherein I then e-mailed the resulting multi-page tiff to the specified address.

Whew.

technology am wunnerful
