Abnormalities of Life

Well, it has been a bit too long since my last post. Almost two months! I apologize, but I had some very big events happen in my life. First and foremost, I got a new job! I start on Tuesday working for my old boss as a Marketing Manager, a step up from where I am now. On the same day she reached out to me, I also learned that I was accepted at my top Grad School choice to get an MBA.

I have always thought about the MBA as a fairly meaningless degree that most people just bought. After meeting with my counselor, however, I have learned that the program at this school is a bit more rigorous, but the end results should be a bit better too. Much of our program is geared towards Human Resource issues, producing more effective managers and leaders within an organization.

I cannot think about "human resource issues" without being reminded of all of the bad bosses I have had and have seen depicted on TV and in movies. Most recently, I saw The Devil Wears Prada, which I swear could've been written about my first boss. I'm strangely going back to work for her now, but only because we have a very successful (albeit very bizzare) love-hate working relationship.

I'm excited to see what kind of manager I will turn out to be. I hope to be fair and encouraging, but I will still need to look out for myself, which could inadvertently prove ugly. Thus, the lessons I learn in school should help me Master Being an Asshole. Isn't that what that degree is all about anyway? Afterall, I have already perfected all that was learned from my undergraduate in Bull Shit. Don't believe me? Read the rants I have posted throughout here and then see where I place my priorities!
