The country has ground to a halt as snow has descended and councils have run out of salt (that incidentally lowers the freezing point of water to stop ice forming.)  Even life at WBS has been effected as Marketing class this week has been delayed because of snow interrupted flights for the professor.

Those who have hung onto their 4×4′s must have been happy however.  Lets hope this prolonged cold spell has improved sales for my friends at Land Rover.

It is the PoM individual assignment hand-in day today.  For many the cancellation of Marketing will have been a blessing in disguise!  I managed to get mine done towards the end of last week and quite enjoyed the exercise, once I got into it.   The team survey was really very revealing, even for our team that gets on really well.

A wonderful snowy London scene. If you happen to be interested in what its like to do an MBA in the UK, have a look around my blog with pleasure.

Keep warm and have a great day!

Does this picture look like a road near you?!

It is snowing and the UK has come to a halt.  I am not sure that accounted for the low attendance at the Business Writing course today (that was in fact better than I expected) but did account for the cancelling of the BT recruitment fair tonight.

It is a strange week, Personnel Career Development (PCD) week.  The focus is on softer skills but also about honing techniques for some of the more challenging interview programs that will be facing us (hopefully) in later months.  Tomorrow is a session on assessment centres and Wednesday on Case Studies i.e. the right way to answer the question: “So how many pigs are there in China?” … my guess is not to say: “I will just check on Wikipedia!” – the latter apparently being a serious no-no.

The blogging world has increased in the last few days with three new to the community. Support your local blog and visit these three sites from fellow MBAers. One, Two, and Three !

Today the weather is quite foggy and cold.  Together with this and one of the lads on the course bringing in his DaKine bag makes me pine somewhat for the snow and mountains.  I only discovered mountain life properly a few years ago and have since been fortunate to have spent many weeks in their company.  No chance of heading out this year but that is fine as the MBA continues to surprise and delight (Operations will be proud!)
