I was an early employee at a startup and happened to share a similar name and initials with the guy who eventually became CFO. oooo boy - lots of receipts and approval emails sent my way. I would forward/delete and we'd laugh about it.

Then we started to get big and it became less funny. Not my fault, and nobody blamed me, but one week we had a quarterly sales meeting and the company flew in 50+ reps from around the country... Those folks can spend money. I did my best to avoid reading, but receipts for extravagant food/drinks were hard to ignore.
