I think there's probably something illegal about a boss requiring a "donation" to the company. But, I'm no lawyer.

eta: Just read Beth's, post, and I see I'm not the only one who is getting all self-righteous with indignation up in here.

Thanks for the suggestions, but I am talking last-minute stuff. I had typed out a typical example, but realized posting details that could be figured out by someone I work with is probably not a smart idea! Suffice it to say, everything is always last minute in my office, and always a crisis. In the past two weeks I've had to do some last-minute close to 50-mile round-trip jaunts that just wouldn't be feasible by bike.

Not the same as the great outdoors, but I've been getting on the trainer in the evenings for some good ol' stress relief! Yoga works wonders as well . . .

And, yes, I'm reimbursed for mileage for the long trips, but not the ones 5 miles or under -- my boss says those should be considered a "donation," but they add up, you know? So, I'm starting to think I might put in expense reports for them and see what happens . . .
