Pack the Good and leave the rest

Supply chain management was awesome this morning and Eddie gets cool points for talking about German manufacturing in detail. I'm hoping we have the makings of a good thesis director or at least a reader here. Meeting with Eddie tomorrow will determine that.

Thesis topic is going moderately well in refining. Email to contact at T-Mobile has gone out, and if all goes well there will be an informational interview via telephone on Friday. Hopefully further success is forthcoming.

I'm finally used to the new Facebook News Feed revision, and I have to say that I like it. Call me a stalker, I LIKE seeing every little dirty detail of your lives, people. It's cool. Saves a lot of time that would have been spent aimlessly wandering your profile pages.

I've been buoyed all day today daydreaming about living/working in Germany at some big corporation. I think that's a sign that I'm a nerdy business major and a complete Germanyphile. And I love it. I love that feeling of having a "second home" that I know I'm totally comfortable in - and it's not even on the same continent. That just rocks. I miss it, yes, but it's awesome being back in the U.S. of A and on campus too.

Met with Lucia and Adrienne for coffee today at the business college Starbucks (yes, our business college has its own Starbucks. We rock that hard). Hilarious conversation topic about the pretentiousness of the W.P. Carey School's courtyard atmosphere, which, again, just shows you how hard we business majors rock. I always wanna walk through there with my cell phone to my ear and saying, "Look, I'll have my people talk to your people . . ."

And as if the day couldn't go any more slendidly, there is now a group on Facebook entitled "Angela Merkel rocks my world." I think it's supposed to be a joke but I joined anyway because she seriously rocks my world. She is awesome. Wooo Merkel.

i'm pretty sure they only gave you a starbucks in the business college because otherwise some of the asshole MBA kids would threaten to sue for unfair treatment. at our business school we have a café that offers the same food as other places on campus but for much higher prices. and the MBA kids pay the difference, because 1. they probably don't know better. and 2. cuz they're just that dumb. i sincerely hope you're not one of those kids.
