18 month hiatus...

Today was the last day of classes for my Executive MBA program. Finished the HR final and the team did its presentation of its capstone project.

I am glad it's over, I'm glad I did it, but it hasn't really sunk in yet. I think the real test will come in two weeks when I wake up on Saturday morning and don't have to go to class.

I've mostly just lurked around here for a while, but have swapped messages with a few of y'all from time to time. Thanks for the encouragement, and thanks to all of you for posting pictures, stories, and helping to keep me focused on the goal.

It's time to dust off the bandsaw and foredom, get the boat back up to snuff, and see if I can remember how to double haul a flyline.

So when your wives, girlfriends, etc get on you for "wasting time on the Internet", you can look at them and say, "honey, if it wasn't for me, Rick never would have gotten his MBA."

Very best from Arkansas,

Rick Pierce
 
The problem becomes when you start dreaming you have a paper due or test the next morning and you wake up frantically wanting to study. Congrats

Two words for you, deploma mills. Just think of all the money, time and energy you could have saved instead of going to one of them big universities with all their silly classes and requirements.

Congrats.

Kristan,

Working on this big project, I actually DID dream that I was working on the paper. It was a kick in the teeth to wake up....
 
Welcome back Rick and congratulations!

We will now expect an even higher level of intelligent commentary from you in the future

I wish someone would've reminded me of that 18 months ago! Jeez...

Thanks, Eric...we need to start planning a hunt this fall...
 
congrats Rick!!!

I remember the day I turned in my thesis...the weight of the world fell off my shoulders.

Welcome back to LIFE!!!!
 
Congrats Rick!

I'm a year or so behind you. Already working on a paper this morning. The joys of being back in school!
