Campus visit
I visited the MBA program 2 Mondays ago. I got to wear one of my many, many suits. Its kind of wierd, I have like 4 custom made, tailored suits and I never get to wear any of them. I think I've worn one of them once, to my 10-year HS reunion.
Showed up late. Damnit I hate Atlanta traffic. Finally found a place to park. Met my "buddy" to take me to class. This new building is really nice. Beats the hell out of my undergrad classes. Today we're watching groups present. I take notes. I look like I should be presenting in this suit.
First interview. This is with the same lady I have interviewed with before. Seems as though I don't have anything to go over. I have lots of questions, and I know what I want to do this time. She says shes impressed since I was really unfocused the previous time I applied. Now I seem like I know what I am talking about. We stretch what was supposed to be a 15-minute interview into a good hour.
Second interview. I've never met this guy and hes eating me alive. Dang. I didn't realize there was so much I should have known. I've got no idea what 6-sigma certification is. Hell, I don't even know how to spell it. Whoops. Then he gets to asking me what I an bring to a class. After a little cajoling, I finally open up:
Now for the sledge hammer. He asks me if I have any questions. I do: How'd I do? He looks me in the face and tells me thats that ballsiest thing hes ever heard. He likes that.

- I'm the computer guy of the group
- I can tell you EVERYTHING about the company's IT structure that I can glean without calling and asking.
- Ready to go above and beyond in the presentation? Cool. So am I.
