Myth: academics make bank flying around giving talks.

Reality: prestigious university invites me out. I fly across the country and speak free. I front the cost and submit for reimbursement. First they lose the paperwork. Then they reject it because of a digital signatures. Now, six months later, they reject it again, because the receipt does not show the last four digits of my credit card so they don’t know if I actually bought the ticket.

They heard me talk. How did they think I got there?

@ct_bergstrom Yeah, I had that trouble relatively recently. "Your hotel receipt does not show it was for four nights. We have to assume it was only 1 night, and then it is too expensive a hotel to be fully reimbursed."

I never did get the rest of the $
