Nope. Fiscal year isn't aligned with calendar year.
I don't like booking stuff out more than a couple weeks in advance because it invariably changes 09850234 times. I've been known to lose track of stuff that I book a couple months in advance. That and the folks I need to meet with can't commit to anything more than a week in advance anyway.
The meetings have to happen. But I can influence whether I do them in Dec. or Jan.
It's a bad feeling getting a trip alert and you've completely forgotten that you're going somewhere.
