There's simply no better way to start your week than with an 8:30 AM interview on Monday morning. Having to bring your A-game before the sun clears the big trees in the arb means that you have a huge, productive day ahead of you independent of how the interview goes. This is one of the corollaries to the Dombrowski Principle: have your test early in the day so you can be done with it and get on with life.
This afternoon I have another of these unusual exposures to the real world called “Dean’s Seminar Series.” From time to time during life at Ross you get an unsolicited email inviting you to join a C-level exec from this company or that for a meet and greet, short seminar on leadership or some similar ambiguity, and refreshments. Today’s guest is Dan Hesse from Embarq, a bandwidth provider. I’m not sure if you are allowed to turn these things down or not, but who would want to? It is reasons like this that I love the big school feel of Michigan… you never know what your inbox may bring you.
