Our monthly budget meetings were becoming a cause for concern. Not that the numbers weren't adding up, they were, but after a long day of drinking coffee and staring at white paper, most anyone would be ready to jump out the nearest window. At least that's how it seemed to us at the end of the day. The truth is, we did it to stay abreast of the entire operation, though (important as that is), no one really enjoyed it.
Since the start of the season, we'd maintained the same level of monthly expenditures in Scouting Support, Team Morale and Arena Operations. There'd been no new directives, and our policy wasn't about to change. What's that they say about
: 'If it ain't broke?'... In any event, from our vantage point we had more than enough on our plates, so there was no need to further complicate matters by tinkering with something that was already working.
