Am feeling very annoyed

That my employer, not short of ready cash, presently owes me c. £250 because there was no way of paying for a couple of things other than via my personal Visa card. I have just sent my boss an acerbic email suggesting that it would be good practice for all departments to have a credit card so that staff are not put in the position of having to lend money to the university.

it's particularly problematic because more often than not the people who could best afford to be £50 out of pocket are the ones who are far too busy to go and spend it

Funny, that! Clearly we are more profligate with our petty cash - or just don't quite follow the rules properly.
