Recruiter: You seem extraordinarily calm for a first year MBA.
Me: I stopped fighting the panic and embraced it.

Why bother putting on airs for recruiters. If they can't handle the crazy, then I don't want to work there.

The exchange reminded me of "The X-Files: Fight the Future":
Scully: I saw your face Mulder. There was a definite moment of panic ( Read more... )

It happened for the first time last night. I was out at a bar with some friends after what we've called "Tauber Time" which is a series of non-class leadership seminars we all attend as Tauber Fellows. (It sounds fancy, but it's a joke. Last night's seminar was basically the movie  "Pay it forward" without Haley Joel Osment and just as cloying. If ( Read more... )

Wow. Cheno's Leno interview tonight was hilarious. Though I may be biased by the amazingness of Ana's 10 second delayed spit take onto her laptop at Cheno saying Heart-on ( Read more... )

First of all, I'm super psyched that I got selected to be an Ambassador for the Admissions office (to conduct tours, lead Q&A sessions, and lead focus groups). There was an absurdly complex application process that involved 4 essays and an interview and I was part of the 15% of the class picked to represent the school to prospective students.

It's almost 3AM. I'm not even close to being tired, despite having spent most of the day performing manual labor in 90 degree heat as a community service portion of our MBA Leadership program and not having consumed caffeine since noon ( Read more... )

So, Ana sent me a letter on July 23rd that arrived...today.

Silberzauber: good thing that's not your only method of communication or it would've taken you a decade to get this far

It's just as well, because she included her perfume which is driving me crazy. (I don't own perfume) And though I've seen it before, I have to comment that her handwriting ( Read more... )
