Autumn
When it all gets just a little too much, the weather delivers an unexpected bright spark. This morning on my drive into work the sun was shining. The forest is absolutely stunning. The explosion or reds, yellows and oranges is so intense and overwhelming it can make all the other things in life seem a little less relevant.
Not that other things have gone away. We spent a good one and a half hours with my group this morning trying desperately to do the marketing case. I insisted on not letting everyone move on until we'd agreed to a semblance for a plan for the entire project - otherwise we risk being cast adrift in a sea of data with each of us making random unconnected points. I think I managed to do it. But I haven't got many written results to show for it. Hopefully the dividends will come tomorrow when we actually sit down and do the work.
In other news my super organised housemates seem to be sniffing out Singapore accommodation. I feel like I'm somewhat free riding on this one, but I basically decided yesterday that I didn't have enough bandwidth to deal with Singapore accommodation at the moment so my approach would be to hop on a shared flat if one comes along and pull out of Singapore next week if one doesn't. Do I feel guilty for free riding? Sure. But life's too short.
The CV is still laughable. But at least it's starting to resemble a CV.
Which means thankfully focus is shifting onto another question. Which Paris museum to go to this weekend? I've heard Rodin is supposed to be quite something.....

My what have we here?! A novel poetic, philosophical and introspective slant on the Career Casino. I must say that I am liking it Monsieur G. Your perspective has shifted and you are thinking of things in a wider context instead of through the, let's face it, rather narrow MBA lense. The Rodin museum IS lovely as it is set in a house and garden all of it's own. Beware - it is chaud, chaud and very sexy! Try the Musee de L'Affiche, the Quai D'Orsay or isn't there some place down by the Seine called the Loove...? Summin' like that...You never know. Might have some good stuff. ;-) xoxox
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
