So much for the sophistication of Finance advice. Today I said the silliest thing (half a joke) to a guy responsible for negotiating vendor prices that I paid to companies who work for me. I said, "Vendor prices should be like the rain - it should only come down and not go up."
My budgeting brain has gone on vacation. There was a self-imposed lock down to modifying budget numbers ad nauseum, and my brain has taking that nice little excuse to take a vacation away from budget monster mode. Read: this is supposed to be a good thing.
I'm leaving work early, getting enough sleep, in a cheery mood, helpful around the house... and generally being a much nicer person to live with during this time. The suggestion was for me next year to take a room in a hotel for the entire budget season. That way, at least i) nobody has to put up with my crap that isn't already paid to do so, and ii) I don't have to help out around the house nor feel guilty for not doing so. Besides, iii) I'll get a nice comfy bed for those few hours of rest that I can squeeze in and manage to weasle some luxury (a good bath and a good bed) out of it. At a price... perhaps this should come into the amount of business related claims I'll take next year. Hmmm....
So welcome back, you. And goodbye budget monster... until next year, hasta la vista.
