That's the kind of shit that drives me nuts. My manager was laying in on us and our expenses during our meetings this week. "We are in the hole $1300, so we need to clamp down on our expenses the remainder of the year." Our expense budget is $900,000 this year year. On top of that we're $16 Million over on an average of 23% profit. I think we can afford the $1300 that we're "in the hole" on.....

Perhaps we shouldn't have bought those $90,000 Cowboy tickets then, shouldn't we?
