My laundry quandry

A 5 day business trip has morphed into a 14 day quasi-secondment and I am stuck with a laundry problem.

The Firm will pick up the tab, that's not the issue. The question is whether my conscience can. I cannot be complicit to anyone paying S$18 to dry clean a pair of trousers. S$12 to LAUNDER a t-shirt. One t-shirt. A shirt that did not even cost S$12. That's not just ridiculous, that's just immoral.

So tomorrow, I plan to take all my laundry and drop it off across the street, where I can get a whole laundry bag of shirts and trousers dry cleaned for under S$20.

Then I will head back to my five star residence and have steak for lunch.

Now that, I can live with.
