Wonder why they need me at work sometimes...

Twice in the past two weeks I've booked a trip for one of my directors- only to be told that they found a better deal/time for their flight- can I get that one? This wouldn't bother me, except that they aren't using our companies travel tool to find these great deals. Even after I run the search again, send them the results, and show them that either the flight isn't there or will cost $900 more (to arrive 1 hour sooner) they insist I should call the help desk to see why I can't get the fair they found on Orbitz or where ever. These are Directors in a department tasked with quality and cost reduction...internal audit anyone?

Know what? These people should totally send you $60.00 worth of cookies once a year to show you how much they appreciate you;P

i am completely convinced that common sense is not a qualification for management

The irony- is I'm the one that processed the expense report for those cookies :P And- as the saying goes:
