Saturday, Parades and More Painful Math
It is Saturday. The sun is shining and it is a cold 30-ish degrees with a wind chill of something like 15. And yet it is probably the best day that this town has had for a St Patrick's Day parade in about 20 years.
We were cold at 9:00 a.m. decorating the "float".
We were cold at 10:30 a.m. lining up along the parade route.
We were cold at 12:00 p.m. when the parade actually started.
By 1:00 p.m. it was over we had no feeling in noses, toes and fingers but we had at least had fun. Cold fun to be sure. But fun.
Now it is back to the homework - the final project for a class that has been nothing short of hell. No one can explain to me why on earth we need to know upper level calculus in order to understand economics from a managerial standpoint in business. Hello! There is software for this sort of thing thank you very flippin' much. But no we somehow have a physicist teaching managerial economics in the MBA program.
A man who does not understand that a nonprofit is not going to fit his formulas in how they make their financial decisions and a man who will argue with me and tell me that is not how my organization does things when the CFO of said organization told me that it is.
I think this class will be the end of my 4.0
