Greetings from the land of all-day sweatpants and eating four lunches!
Yeah, I think that’s going to be the toughest part about getting back in the office – no more extra lunch. That and fitting into normal clothes. Heh.
Dave Blehi is leading an awesome social media campaign that’s boosting the spirits of the BMB community. He needs your help! Dave is looking for some more great photos of everyone working from home. If you want to be a part of his campaign and help out, send a photo of yourself working from home to dmb385@psu.edu.
We could all use a little cheering up these days and it’s always awesome to see a familiar face. Send Dave your best #WFH photo!

Hey, all you cool cats and kittens,
I’ve been watching Tiger King on Netflix (along with everyone else), and I have to say I’ve found it incredibly therapeutic. I feel a whole lot better about my life choices overall. I think the main lesson we can all take away from this show is this – never get a tattoo of your boyfriend’s name. It never ends well.
And now that I’ve parsed out that sage wisdom, it’s time to talk shop.
How many of you have used the super-convenient Pcard Submission Portal yet? It’s certainly making my life easier these days. Let’s take a moment to thank Kim G. and Dave B. for hustling to get this up and running so quickly. (Have I mentioned recently how amazing this department is?)
If you haven’t used it yet, please do! It’s helping us keep things running smoothly from home. Simply upload the completed pcard form and the relevant receipt or invoice. If it’s a FedEx purchase, don’t forget the Mail Tracking Form and if it’s something involving a group meal (do you remember when we used to eat together in groups??? Insanity!) make sure you’ve got that group meal form as well.
Two things to keep in mind:
- Please make sure you are sending invoices, not quotes.
- If you are unable to sign the forms, you MUST send an accompanying email to both Kim (kag22@psu.edu) and Lori (lfb5141@psu.edu) with the following information:
- the vendor
- the amount of the charge
- the budget/fund to be charged
- a statement saying you authorize payment.
Remember, we are here to help each other out. If you need help, reach out and ask. We are in this together, and we’re going to make it through together.
