Budget Season Translation Manual Update #1
After working on the budget all weekend (thanks to the power outage), we have our first update to the Budget Season Translation Manual.
You say: "I also noted that you had budgeted Software maintenance under the Software Capital category, whereas it truly belongs in the Software Maintenance category. I took the liberty of moving it to the correct cost category."
You mean: "Oddly, the item you entitled Software maintenance belongs under the cost category also called Software Maintenance. Duh."
You say: "We'll remove that $1,000 item you asked about after next week."
You mean: "Yeah, that $1,000 reduction you asked for will really make a difference to your multi-million dollar budget."
More updates to follow.
