Survived Budget Presentation

I survived my first budget presentation here. It went fine. I feel a little uncomfortable because I used only 35 minutes of the hour allotted and got out early. But I had time for everyone’s questions, so maybe ending early isn’t such a bad thing.  Plus, keep in mind that my request was only 6 pages long as opposed to last year’s 54 pages.The questions were good ones–supportive generally. I got the vibe that folks want to fund our projects; they’re looking for reasons to say yes, not excuses to say no.

    Congratulations. I had a similar vibe after my presentation, but the school is still planning on cutting another $4m, so wanting to funding and able to fund are likely to be very different things.

    Yes, I’m really surprised we’re not seeing cuts here. I keep thinking that any day now, that ax is going to fall… so far, so good.
