Earlier in the week I was listening to a budget priorities conference call. The budget in question wasn’t that of my company, rather it was for the organization we work with. The people for this organization are prone to doing silly and non-transparent things. This week, for this presentation, they compiled a list of budget priorities. However, they failed to include one item that is relatively big and expensive that has been a major topic of at least a dozen meetings throughout the course of the year. Basically, there was no good reason to leave this item off the list.
Good reason or not, these people left it off the list. And then they tried to defend their indefensible position. Long story short, I cracked up laughing at one of the defenses they offered. It turns out that my microphone wasn’t muted like I thought it was. So, the other people kinda noticed. I’m not sure if anyone knew that it was me that was laughing. Nonetheless, I don’t feel too bad because these people really deserved to be mocked in this situation.
