The first thing I see at my brownstone when I got back from Christmas break was a ticket taped to my front door from the police sanitation department, with a box full of trash beneath it. The trash is pretty rancid. The ticket says a package with my name as well as a PayPal receipt was found in this box so this box that was just sitting on the sidewalk must be mine, pay $25. The box is most ceratinly not mine, since I've been out of town for weeks. It turns out yet another postal package of mine was stolen from my front door. The thief threw the package in this box and hence my ticket. Thank you, City of Philadelphia, for the double whammy.

Other than that, I feel immensely recharged after the break. I am ready to start the grueling MBA summer internship interview process. It kicked off today with an interview boot camp at Wharton. Pretty good stuff. Wharton does a really good job of focusing the entire education process on getting a job, very little of our studies are purely academic. Plus we have a very involved career center. Wharton was jobs for 90% of their students in the worst part of the recession. The program is headed by Peter Degnan, who absolutely dominates the other MBA programs when it comes to courting companies to recruit at Wharton. Unfortunately he has so well that he is being promoted to Director of Executive Education, a program that is extremely lucrative for the school.

We found out that the upcoming baby is a girl! I am going to be completely outnumbered. I feel sorry for my Visa.
