Best commuting job? Are you $#@*&# kidding me? They buy you the cheapest damn ticket they can find on expedia.com regardless on how many legs or how long it takes for you to get home.
It didn't used to be like this. In fact, it used to be one of the greatest perks of this $#%* job because you can pretty much choose your airline and flight home, or even go anywhere in the world as long as the cost was equal to or less than your home of record. You could even bank the tickets for your family or anyone else to use, but since the Ticket-Witch took over, it's turned into the worst commuting job I have ever had. These twits were having me go through China to come back home to the USA instead of putting me into a direct flight home to save a few bucks.
