Its all about the ties

Ah, my work is great some times.
Let me give you an exam­ple.
Ties.
We are giv­en nice bright read ties. They are 100% poly­ester. Which means they get dirty, and there ain’t noth­ing you can use at home to clean them. I tried, I put one through the wash… when I got all the oth­er clothes out the tie was­n’t even wet!
Now, at work, we have a draw with ties in, for any­one to use, most­ly old dirty ones, so I bun­dled them all up and took them off to the dry-clean­er and got them cleaned and then hung them back up at work, for every­one to use as nec­es­sary. So these aren’t MY ties where talk­ing about, they are the SHOP’s so I paid for it with pet­ty cash. Which every­one thought would be okay.
It was­n’t. Orders from above. NEVER USE PETTY CASH FOR DRY CLEANING TIES. Um… okay… so how do when clean the gen­er­al use ties? They did­n’t know, some­thing about pay­ing for it our­selves. But on the flip-side, we can order in brand new fresh ties with­out any­one get­ting even slight­ly annoyed.
I’m still try­ing to fig­ure out how that can pos­si­bly make sense… but I guess it looks good in Nav, and some­how shows as a prof­it.
