Welcome! You probably found your way over here from my flagship site, MBA Cutie. This blog is particularly directed at the Ross Day MBA Experience -- everything from classes to housing to anything else MBA, and specifically Ross, related.
This site will not include the stories and humor found at the original MBA Cutie blogsite. I plan to maintain all related MBA Cutie sites over the next two years, so please visit often!
Best wishes,
MBA Cutie

. Top 10 Goofs Interns Make]
Ok, so if these rules were applied to my job, I'm already a royal screw up!
(1) Entitlement Syndrome - well, I can't say that I've really screwed up this one, but I have worked with plenty of people that did show this as a major problem.
(2) Flip-flopping - I work for a fashion company! You can't tell me no flip flops! What if they are in style? Does it count if I just keep them under my desk for when I'm sitting down?
(3) Unplug - I regularly listen to my IPOD at work. I also blog about work all the time! I don't reveal what company I work for, but I certainly do blog. Hmm...
(4) Wallflower - hey! everyone gets shy now and then. And I like using my lunches as "me" time.
(5) Extracurriculars - I just don't feel like giving up my weekends for company events, but I do make it a point to go to at least half of all invitations that come my way.
(6) Grunt Work - I understand there are adminstrative things, but it's even worse when we have no group admin and we don't have systems that let us get around a lot of the grunt work.
(7) Missing the big picture - OK! Finally something I'm not guilty of!
(8) Failing to ask questions - Sometimes you want to figure it out on your own, though!
(9) Rejecting criticism - Someone once told me, bosses will give you some negative feedback not because they necessarily believe it, but because they have to say something negative to you.
(10) Wasting Time - Um, but what am I supposed to do when my eyes run numbers togethers on my spreadsheets.
As that Office Space dude says, there has to be "space out" time.
