In honor of the recent focus at Seek on how important it is to get invoice kits on time, Lane Byrum, Jamie Johnson and Justin Masterson spent their dinner in Chicago coming up with this list of Top Ten Worst Ways to Submit an Invoice Kit:
10. Taped to the inside of the slide in our building; Accounting gets 3 slides to get as many as possible
9. Glued to a greased pig, then released in Station 22 (our creative meeting space)
8. Fill our pockets up with receipts, hand in our pants
7. In Aramaic on a deteriorating scroll, with a string of DaVinci Code codexes to locate it
6. All numbers and linked vendors mimed via interpretative dance
5. All staff puts receipts in carnival-style "grab the money" booth; Elaine (queen of all things accounting) gets 30 seconds
4. Fashioned into a paper-mache bust of Jerry (our CEO)
3. Written entirely in Wingdings
2. Glued to office ceiling; Accounting given running-trampoline
1. Buy a roll of blank receipts, rip into 700 3-inch strips. Crumple all up and throw into an Utz Pretzel jar, along with your real receipts. Shake vigorously. Mark lid with SPN (seek project number), hand it in and let them sort it out.
Thank you, and good night.
