[originaltext]W: Hey David, guess what? The boss is sending me to the West Coas

W: Hey David, guess what? The boss is sending me to the West Coast for a marketing seminar next month.
M: Aha, you must be happy. You’ve been itching to go on a business trip for months.
W: Yeah, and he said there would be more coming up,(13)so I should get a corporate card. Problem is, I don’t know how to proceed, and I don’t want the boss to know that. Can you help me with that?
M: Sure, no problem. First, go see the secretary and tell her where you’re going and when. She’ll arrange for transportation and hotel through our travel agent, and give you the tickets and schedule in a few days. At the same time, ask her for an application form for the card.
W: Will I use the card for everything?
M: No, for this trip, you’ll probably only use it for food. Not all restaurants accept the card, so you may have to pay cash.
W: Do I pay out of my own pocket?
M: Afraid so. We used to have cash advances, but the company stopped that when they started issuing cards.
W: Will the company write off everything?
M: No, there are maximum rates for each day.(14)I’ll give you a list. Of course, personal items aren’t covered. And make sure you keep all your receipts. You’ll have to attach them to your expense account when you get back.
W: Anything else I should keep in mind?
M: Nothing at present.(15)But I think you should make some arrangements about your work before departure of your travel.
