Horrifying Pigeonhole Behavior

Just a few minutes ago our class received an email instructing us to check our "pigeonholes" (do I love the Brit lingo or what?) - contained therein, according to this email, would be our class portraits, a new calendar, and... drum roll please... CHOCOLATE! To welcome us to the school!

Yesssssssssssss! I love being an MBA student! Free chocolate!

A friend of mine went up to grab our chocolate while I watched our laptops, and came back a few minutes later with... nothing. For me, that is. She got her chocolate, and her pictures, and her new calendar. But nothing for me.

Is there anything more devastating than being promised free chocolate in the middle of a sleepy afternoon and then NOT GETTING IT IN YOUR PIGEONHOLE?!

I think the dude in the pigeonhole beneath mine took my stuff by accident. So I emailed him. And have not yet heard back. And now I am obsessively checking my email every 30 seconds to see if he has given me the green light to go take his chocolate. Which I might do anyway.

Good thing I'll have a Guinness in my hand in about 20 minutes (to celebrate our Beer Game victory). Otherwise there would really be trouble.

WSJ "Best Executive MBA" Survey

In case any of you ladies out there are interested in an Executive MBA program instead of the regular ol' MBA, check out this article that was published in the WSJ yesterday.

I don't know too much about EMBA programs, but I find it very interesting that two schools completely pulled away from the rest of the pack in this survey. Apparently, Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School have EMBAs that kick everyone else's arse.

According to the article, "Kellogg and Wharton were ranked at the top more often by companies by a wide margin over their competitors. What's more, corporate scores varied the most in our surveys, with the leaders outpacing the middle of the pack, and the middle schools leaving the laggards far behind. That variation and wide lead shifted the overall rank in favor of Kellogg and Wharton."

So there you have it! For more information on these and other highly-ranked EMBA programs, check out the Wall Street Journal.

Is anyone out there interested in an EMBA?
