So much of what we do is dependent on others. This feels especially true today, when I needed to really get things done on MAP and TMI project documents and none of my sources came through. Now I'm faced with the specter of what tomorrow might look like, an even more frantic frenzy of PPT slides and too-hastily written summaries of too-hastily conducted analyses.
TMI SAB's year wrapped last night with dinner at Pizza House. It's something of a miracle how much free food floats around - I ate dinner and took pizza home for Jenelle's dinner, all in the name of 15 minutes' rehash of existing items. I think the board has done good things this year but is actually just reaching a corner to turn towards real effectiveness and influence on the caliber of the program.
I played basketball last night, one of the last evenings in the CCRB with this year's MBA2s. Shorter games were more fun, but my too-long-to-mention hiatus cut into my personal enjoyment. A person can only miss so many short jumpers before they get frustrated. I'm also realizing that the onus may be on me to recreate this twice-weekly event next year as if I didn't have anything else going on.
