âThis budget will let us have 2020 vision.â
I heard that quote at the end of a board meeting yesterday and laughed out loud. As someone with terrible eyesight (Iâve worn glasses since age 3 and had eye surgery at age 8), my âvisionâ has always been suspect â¦
Iâm in Seattle for a few days doing the end of year board meeting/budget drill at a number of our Seattle-based companies and thought this was a priceless pun.
The person who said it also had complete awareness that the budget isnât a prediction of what is actually going to happen in 2020, which made the statement even more clever.
I made sure to wipe off the lenses of my glasses before my next meeting to try to see a little better. By the time I got back to the hotel room at the end of the day, they were once again dirty and covered with dried raindrops.
