Institute of Supply Management (ISM)’s Services Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) Prices Paid Index vs. CPI
Note: The Services PMI report are the opinions of purchasing managers in non-manufacturing industries about business conditions, with 50 as the midpoint. The higher the number, the better they think things are.

This week’s fun finds
No such thing as too many cooks in the kitchen for the Operations team
As a team building exercise, Operations had an after-work social where they made then ate their dinner. The department was split into teams of two and challenged to make one dish (a soup, appetizer, main or dessert). I think everyone won this one.
Compliments to the chefs!
EdgePoint hot sauce review crew
Because there are so many saucy individuals at EdgePoint, we’ve offered up our services to review hot sauces on behalf of our external partners.
First up, Ass Kicking Whoop Ass Ghost Pepper Sauce.
Heat: 7.2 (out of 10)
Flavour: 6 (out of 10)
• Just enough flavor that I wasn’t regretting the pain from the heat. An ideal match for someone who prefers hot sauce with pizza instead of garlic dip.
• Got a bit of that vinegar and spice. But a little goes a long way to be able to actually enjoy the flavour. The heat gets progressively hotter, which is why I am giving it a high rating.
• This hot sauce has a nice heat but light in flavour. Good for those who are looking to just add heat but not one for those looking to add heat and enhance a dish.
