The First Assignment Is IN!!!!!

There used to be a day when I could whip off a 1000 word document in a few hours and do just fine.  This time around, it wasn't as easy.  First, the team started off pretty disorganized.  We all had different definitions of being prepared for it.  Then we approached it as a team instead of breaking out into sub-teams to work on the individual sections.  So a few learnings came out of yesterday.

We did this little brainstorming session about improving a tie.  One of use had to be a time-keeper/observer.  It was funny watching Aaron hold his tongue.  It was very hard for him to not jump in and participate.

After class, we had our first Administration Meeting.  As a team, we are getting better at telling each other what we think, which I think is great!  We dealt with a few irritants and got a few things decided and then everyone disbanded.  Everyone except Sean and I: the lead and second for the first team assignment.  We submitted it at around 9:45pm.  It was due at 10pm.  It was just under 1000 words, which was great.  Just about at the end, I commented that we didn't say anything about a particular item... Sean looked at the clock and we decided to let it go.  All the same, I think we did OK on our paper.  I'll get to stay in the program a little bit longer.

Oh yeah.  I made it to the gym, but a few minutes too late for "Total Body Workout", so I did 20 minutes on the treadmill.  The killer yoga / pilates lady is supposed to be back tomorrow.  That's if tomorrow is Friday.  Like I said before, I have no concept of time.

Well, I have a chapter, an HBR article, and an IBM case study to read for tomorrow and it is already past my bedtime.  I'll skim something before I fall asleep.
