Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who participated in that accursed survey I sent out a couple of weeks ago. I just had a chance to look at your comments, and wow, at least I can say this: apparently I present a very consistent image in my personal and professional lives. I honestly almost can’t tell who was writing from a personal (friends/family) perspective, and who was writing from a professional perspective (well, not entirely true–I’m pretty sure I can mostly identify Lindsay and Annette’s comments, but I’m not even 100% sure there!). Some interesting take-aways: I’m much more emotional at work than I thought I was, and, though you were all very diplomatic about this, I’m far too content with myself just as I am (lots of comments about terrific self-awareness, but little drive to improve weaknesses). I’ll take that. I’m pretty much in business school to force myself to improve on my weaknesses, so we’ll see how it goes. Also: I need to give myself more credit occasionally, and be more open to the ideas of others, which several people commented. Thank you to all of you for such lovely comments about my communication/people skills and intellect! You’re all so nice! Anyway, in a moment when I’ve been so terribly frustrated by school, it was nice to read things from people who know me well enough to make such insightful (if a little painful!) comments.
Quick shout out: I believe that Lindsay and Craig just got married, if my calculations are correct. So, not sure if you’re reading this, but: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! I hope the party was great!
