In other news....
I am doing tons of reading (something I don't do much) for my class. This week is all about decision making. I teach this EXACT same process to my 8th graders. Same steps, well except in grad school they added a step, "Implementing the decision." Duh! Why go through the other steps and have the last step of evaluation if you aren't going to do it in the first place? I do also go into all the characteristics of a decision and common reasons for bad decisions. But it is all common sense with fancy terms. Programmability for instance. Let's see, a decision has either been made before and has a set protocol, or it hasn't been made before so you have to come up with a new solution. Ummmm, again.... DUH. So far the reading isn't beyond my brain function so I am happy about that. I did learn something pretty funny. Did you know that after Walter P. Chrysler died that Chrysler's lawyer sometimes contacted the ghost of Walter for advice? My textbook says (that's not APA siting but get over it) that the lawyer would excuse himself from the meeting, go into Chrysler's office, close the door and drapes, and conjure up Chrysler's spirit. Then the lawyer would return to the meeting and reveal his findings, which the Chrysler executives would use to make the final decision. How is this company still in existence today??? I did a little research and he died in 1940. I would consider that relatively modern times. I think the lawyer was a little sketchy, but who blames him with idiots like that surrounding him!
I am still fearful that I might not be able to handle the mass amount of information that I have to take in and regurgitate in paper form using APA guidelines for referencing. But I am not so worried that the information itself is going to be rocket science.
More interesting stories to come I'm sure!

asparagus rules!! it's my most favorite thing in the world. i'm glad you now like it!! :)
That is great! That is another green vegetable. You may become fond of other vegetables, just try them. Glad you are getting into the reading mode. Know that you don't like it, but that is one of those things you have to do in school. Also good luck with the cupcakes. Send pictures.
