My employer is requiring the office manager and me (creative director/product development/sales) to attend an industry show in Atlanta. For example, we recently attended a show in Tennessee and our food allowance was $30 per day. For this Atlanta trip, the food expense will be $50 per day. I have one problem with that.

I interviewed with a small company with the sales manager for a sales position. I of course get why they have to give me the break—no employer can deprive their workers of food—but I honestly don’t want it. The work is mostly data entry, nothing so complicated as to necessitate giving my mind a break.

Now that the sale has been announced to the entire staff, I don’t have to keep it confidential anymore. My new boss says everything is “fun” — even data entry and illness. Food service gave me a lot of valuable experience working with people, but I’m very glad to have put it behind me.
