That’s total bullshit. Your company should have been paying your parking if it was because you were working odd hours. Same as if you had to travel for work.

“a diamond bracelet for $128.98”

but are they the cool 2 tone ones that you can draw on with your finger? cuz i’ll pardon that.

I’m still waiting for The Great Canadian Take-Off, where the country’s biggest hosers are officially exiled.

I’m glad I’m not the only one! I wanted to google and follow up, but I’m scared of the corporate bullshit speak I’d have to wade through.
