Jesus, I thought being a Manager might be alright and already I'm having to deal with budgets.

BUDGETS.

DO NOT WANT BUDGETS. BUY SHINY SHINY.

I highly recommend Budgeting for SysAdmins for reading on this subject. Not essential if you're being well supported by your boss (and others), but it's a good read.

Budgeting is fine, it's living with the budget you got that's the problem :)

Thankfully I'll underspend on the equipment for one contract, but I want shiny shiny. It's trying to justify all hardware/software purchases that aren't budgeted out already that's the killer.

I'll definitely give that a read though! Might get me over my shiny shiny wants!

yea!

That'sh the shpirit!

Of course where I am what Judge wants, Judge gets. But I don't have to worry about budgeting, it's more personnel here and that's about it.
