I’m so pissed off right now that I can barely form a coherent sentence. However, I’m going to attempt to formulate several sentences so that I don’t murder someone tomorrow.

Today officially kicked off Budgeting and “Strategic” Planning Season aka 4 months of hell. In lieu of this fabulous season, I’d like to share a few of my favorite things: 1.
