As in “it’s time to work on the departmental budget for FY07” (we use a Federal FY of 10/1) and “trying to figure out how to get everything done in the time alloted.”
So blogging may be sparse the rest of the day.
UPDATE: Well, after being late with my first round of budgets (I’ve had eleventy-dozen templates and schedules thrown at me, and evidently I missed the one that said my boss wanted it by last Friday), I did a flurry of activity yesterday and got him something close to what he wanted.
In fact, he told me that, aside from some idiosyncracies in my spreadhsheet work (too many colors, where I put notes), he thought mine was one of the best organized he’s received. So there.
Still a slew of revisions that need doing, and four more spreadsheets due today. Oh, boy.
UPDATE: I also got a honorable will-not-be-mentioned for the “very, very healthy” (i.e., overly-large) travel budget for my department that I put in.
