It's the first parts of August, but I'm kinda starting to freak about jobs. That's normal MBA stuff, I think, but there are still months between me and my future job, which means that there will be more stress coming. Part of the reason for my stressing is that I got a not very helpful email from one of our TMI advisors, who kinda bummed me out. His review comments were so editorial in nature and ungrounded in the drafts he'd read that it caused me to doubt the caliber of the work the Knoll TMI team has cranked out. Self-confidence is one thing, but faced with a salty old character who offers no hint of approval over one's accomplishments, it is hard to keep one's chin up. Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's my readiness to be back in Ann Arbor, but it is getting hard to really concentrate on the project - I'm ready. We heard today of a TMI team whose "project's feasibility depends on the next three days" and man am I ever happy not to be in that position.
