the view from hell
12:20am. I still have a whole case to read and prepare. And it’s finance. The class where I’ve spoken once in 6 sessions. Great.
We’re in the midst of what can only be described as HBS’ version of freshman hazing – the Shad exercise. Teams of 12 people forced to get together and simulate manufacturing plants in the gym (“Shad”) all the while learning whether a job shop or product cell approach to manufacturing is better. Frankly, I’m starting not to care. For some reason they thought it would be funny to schedule this across two back-to-back three-case days. Now this exercise is actually cutting in to my ability to learn in the other classes.
Vent.
That feels better.
It’s starting to get cold here. The walk across the river tonight wasn’t pleasant. Time to dig through the basement for the winter clothes perhaps.
