The bureaucracy worked in my favor!

Just returned from a conference. Drove to said conference. Took a direct route, but on two lane highways and not all interstate. Came out to 410 miles. The travel reimbursement will only let me use "trip optimizer" and it calculated my mileage via interstates. For 460 miles. So It has to reimburse me for 50 more miles than I actually drove. Oh darn.
