Frigid-Day Musings
Pro muses on a very cold mid-January day on the East Coast:
Remember this post? Seems that scenario has played out on that Bravo show Real Housewives of Atlanta.
The story goes that DeShawn Snow, the wife of NBA star Eric Snow, was booted from the show for not being “hood” enough and failing to bring the requisite amount of drama and conflict common to these cheap, unscripted “reality shows.” I watched RHOA one time some months back. I wasn’t impressed.
I got word that I’ve been awarded “conditional” acceptance to an online Master’s degree program in Information Systems. The “conditional” is due to my relatively low undergraduate GPA. Never mind that isht was 27 years ago. Don’t they believe I’ve matured just a little bit since then? I must maintain a GPA of 3.0 during my first three quarters/semesters of my attendance. Whatever.
I’m glad, but I’m not really all that overjoyed. I’m only hoping this educational endeavor will be worth the price and help me become an expert in one topic as opposed to being a generalist with broad but shallow knowledge in a lot of areas. I start in March; the program is to last about two years.
The interview with the tech firm earlier this month yielded a rejection. The recruiter e-mailed me a note saying that despite my “impressive resume’,” I’ve been eliminated as a candidate for the proposal manager position. Again, whatever. There’s at least one other iron in the fire. We’ll see how hot that one gets.
