Saturday

April 12, 2008

I am currently trapped in a nice hotel room on the 21st floor overlooking the Pacific Ocean and Kuhio Beach Park in Waikiki. It is 12:30 in the afternoon on a Saturday, and from my balcony I can see people surfing. What am i doing, you ask? I'm analyzing survey data.

It's tragic, I know. But I'm already late getting it done, and Monday is the new deadline. With great responsibility comes great sacrifice. Indeed. And after this, I have probably another five hours worth of work to do. Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to actually go to the beach.

Latest news from the job-search saga: the consulting firm in Cambridge is flying me out for an interview two days after I get back from Hawaii. And they want me to give a 30 - 45 minute presentation as part of the interview process. How I will get that prepared is beyond me, but I've decided not to sweat it too much right now (after one sleepless night spent thinking about it) until I have more time to concentrate on it. I will just have to rely on my professional instincts and try not to become engulfed by self-doubt.

Aloha!

Holy cow! Congrats on the interview. That's so exciting. And a free trip to Mass is nice too. I've got my fingers crossed...
