As I
write this I’m finishing the second season of Ugly Betty[1],
it’s been a busy week so I’m a bit slow in watching it. (There haven’t even
been any Daily Shows on Hulu to distract me.) We have two group projects that
have gotten rolling this week and there’s definitely enough work for my fifteen
hours at the library. Other highlights from this week:
1) Never
thought I’d say this, ERP simulation is fun. As one of my group members said, “This
is like Lemonade stand on crack.”[2]
2) My
roommate distracted me from strategic management by showing me a video about
Superman comics. (Warning: Cursing and Sarcasm is involved.)
3) DinaHowell spoke about her career experience. It was insightful and one of the
better speakers we’ve had. (Though, to be honest, anyone who speaks for a less
than an hour is a contender for that spot with us.)
4) I’m
getting my stuff together for my big trip to Chicago in a couple of weeks. I’m
visiting United Airlines headquarters and the Saatchi & Saatchi office
there. Because I’m not a huge pantsuit person but Chicago is cold in February, I
got fleece-lined tights to go with my gray suit (that I just bought because
black tights and black suit is too funeral-y).
6) I
just realized that’s it’s gotten harder to find rolls of SweetTarts. They aren’t
in the Wal-Mart or Target checkout aisles and only a few convenience stores have
them. I can find the boxes of them, but
that’s too many SweetTarts[3].
It’s cramping my style.
7) It
got cold. Is it spring yet?
[1] I
totally love how they’re always referring to it as “the Meade Empire”. I might
have to use that in future endeavors.

Lemonade Stand was an early internet game that was pretty much what the name
says—a lemonade stand. http://lemonadestands.com/

Yes, that is possible.
