Reply to comment by DirtyThunderer in ELI5: Why do companies require annual budget be spent 100%? by angrybird7677
If you have a good budgeting team they will. But generally we will let you keep it if we can manage to get the overall budget under whatever upper management expects the budget to be. No sense pissing everyone off if you dont have to.

As a cost accountant who set annual budgets for 15 years, it is because we take the money away if you dont spend it. We are usually trying to account for increased supply costs of 3-5%, plus some random budget decrease upper managemnet pulled out if their butts, so uf you have a surplus, we will yank it so fast it will make your head spin.

Do mini series count? The Inside Man was really good.

It may be extra, but that puff pastry square sounds fabulous with soup.

Reply to Where do you buy your books? by nothumaninside
I don't but a lot anymore just because I don't want to store them, but I try to buy at local bookstores, though occasionally I'll get something from a brick and mortar Barnes & Noble.

That's my understanding from our library too. They have an event room that's used for a lot of community things, and they've asked everyone to make sure and come in through the main door so we get counted on the door ticker as it helps them out. I try and run across it ar least a couple times whenever I'm there lol.

Reply to Does this mean audiobooks aren't for me? by IAmNotAFetish
I had to train my brain to listen to audiobooks. When I first started, I only listened to books I'd already read or ones I knew the storyline. Eventually, it got to the point where I could listen to new things.
I can't just sit and listen, though. I struggle to focus on a single thing, so I listen in the car or working with my hands.
