• The sleeping in class bug bit me bigtime in the second year of B-school. I actually slept through 18 out of the 20 lectures of Pingu, a guru of marketing research. I post-rationalized all the sleeping saying I will never take up work which has anything to do with MR. But after a revision of my KRAs, I find that analysis of the results of three super long very confusing conjoints and making recommendations to the top management based on them is my main job. Alas, the professor strikes back, and how :(
• Part of my work involves processing the inputs given by an external MR agency. We had a presentation yesterday at the end of which the agency guys said they will hand over the inputs first thing Monday morning. My boss specifically demanded that they send it over by Saturday afternoon max so that "she (yours truly) won't have to waste the entire weekend waiting for the inputs to arrive, she can start work on Saturday itself". His exact words. But seriously? "Waste" the entire weekend?!?! The sympathetic glances the MR guys gave me after that statement, priceless! :|
• The joke of the day/year/decade has to be the Nobel peace prize :D :D What were they thinking? Going by their logic, isn't Manmohan Singh a top nominee for the Economics Peace Prize? Come on, isn't he an economist who has done better than just talk about liberalization? My conspiracy theory is that match fixing has found some noble takers :P
