This semester is going to be the death of me, I swear. Last week was pretty much a blur, as things with our project started to unravel because…in a nutshell…there are people on my team for whom this MBA program is last on their list of priorities (okay, maybe not last…maybe one notch above flossing). That’s it in a nutshell. It has taken me a good 36 hours to unwind from Saturday’s stress…and I’m trying to move on…

As an update, the castaway we wanted to throw off our island? Let’s just say Jeff Probst highly recommended we beat the castaway senseless, to make him see the error of his ways. The only problem is, the castaway doesn’t seem to be too interested in making it to the merge (so to speak), much less win a million dollars. So, we’re stuck with him. The irony of this is that while we’re basically forced to keep the guy on our team, keeping him there drives down the morale of the other team members.

Sort of sounds like…the environment of many American businesses.
