Exciting day planned tomorrow.  Taking a vacation day to get stuff done.

Starts with phone interview for the Cornell-Queen's EMBA program (http://www.johnson.cornell.edu/academic/cqemba/) at 9:00.

Hooray!  I've been accepted to the MBA program at BGI!

Drat!  They won't be accredited for at least a year, so my company won't pay.

At least I can defer enrollment until Fall 2009 and see where they stand in a year...and whether something better comes along!

It's good to be accepted and have a fall-back plan, at least.

1. Messing with telemarketers.  I love to keep them on the phone for 10, 15, even 30 minutes, just chatting about their life, where they live, whether they're in school, what's their first language (Tagalog, more often than not, or Hindi).  Very occasionally, I'll get their first and last names and their city, then I'll Google them while we're ( Read more... )
