It's the tail end of MBA1, Fall B, week 2. Sadly, Thursday night means TMI's MFG501 core class instead of UMBSA Happy Hour, which I could really go for. We just got a(nother) 'don't cheat' lecture from a professor and that puts a damper on the whole afternoon.
Yesterday was good; our marketing presentation went extremely well. I've given a few presentations but never had as many people come up afterwards and say something positive. Then catching up on some career-spondence and helping with Food Fight flier distribution, btb for lunch, and MTrek kickoff meeting. In the evening, dinner with Jenelle. Not only had it been three days since I'd seen Jenelle, it had been three days since I'd eaten a meal at a table like a human. Today was good, too, despite late-breaking developments. I took care of MTrek business this morning, went to class, got set up for the work that lies ahead, and had lunch with a career contact from Boeing.
Lately there's been some discussion of 'the second tier' within perspecive companies, and I'm beginning to feel that I might be there. Plus, Brunswick is sniffing - I got a call from somebody who 'wants to chat.' I don't really know what that means, but I suspect that Brunswick Boat Group would be perhaps more interested in my background than some others. That's two companies, though, and I think you could add Textron to the list, but three doesn't seem like enough. Then it's on to outside searches; my feelings on this topic are mixed because my tendency would be to run back rather than forward but I'm not sure that this aligns with my desire to move into a 'more progressive' industry.
