Team Meeting #1

0

Written on 5:21 PM by boy141

So tonight I had a team meeting with my teammate to checkup on each other's work. He had about 90% completed while I have like 98% done. I definitely wanted to check my work on this hellacious HW (it's easy but too damn long) involving promotions and statistics. Unforunately, he didn't have it completed. Well it's all me tonight. I vented a few things of how much I hate Michelle Belton and Kettinger altogether. He gave me some advice, on dealing with Kettinger, but I rather have Cheney come and blow his face off.

Here's what really disturbed me. He wants to be in Michelle's group. HORSE'S ASS right there. I doubt that this strategy will work since Amini is dead set on having 3 people in a group. Anyways, he said that this class will be a lot of work. At the moment, it doesn't look like it to me. I'm just breezing through this mess. I'm somewhat offended, but whatever. As long as I get an A in the course, that's all that matters to me. TOTAL PWNAGE.

Class tomorrow, hopefully I don't try to bitch out bitch-face.

Week 2: Michelle Belton

Yay, class!

So I showed up today, about 5 minutes before class and the room was dysfunctional arranged like Kettinger had it last time, a giant 0. It kind of threw me off cause it was like this last week, but me and Michelle arranged the tables into 2 columns, 6 rows like a normal classroom. Why the hell doesn't Kettinger put the classroom back like it was? He goes somewhere, stirs the pot and leaves it be. What a l0ser.

So I had a surprised today when I came into class. I was originally paired with Vlad for my group. Dr. Amini said to sit in your groups. So I got up, went over there and tried to sit down. Then Michelle told Dr. Amini that Vlad was in her group. Vlad and I said that you (bitch-face Michelle) said to us last week that you were going to be teamed up with someone other guy (who didn't attend class last week). She was being a prude and said that it was going to be Vlad, her, and some other Indian girl. She was very demanding of it. This fired me up cause I was left to a group with the guy who didn't show up (which is actually better). If it was just I alone, I would've gone to the other group.

Damn her. She really makes me mad and we have some history together (no, not a relationship). We had a class together with oldy-moldy Brooks. She and Piss House ratted me out to Brooks on cheating an exam (it is not my fault I had the same class and exam back in UGRAD). So I got a C in the damn class. Whatever. I'll retake it and score an A later on in life. He'll still be using the same exam anyways (that or he dies, which I live peacefully on). Anyways, bitch-face works at the university as an administrator. So I decided to look up how much she makes (yes, I am hateful).



Yup, that's her. She makes a bit more than me, but damn it. I am going to pwned her in something other than peeing standing up. Eh, I think she could do that too. There's more hate at the end of this post.

Back to the story. Unofficially, I am not in the PhD program. My GMAT score is a bit low while my GRE score is on borderline acceptance (I SUCK AT THESE TESTS). I believe what happened was that bitch-face talked to Kettinger last week about me showing up in class and he advised her to not interact with me. Therefore, keeping Vlad in her group and away from being in my group. I should've called her ass out in class. Should've slammed the C word on her too. God, I hate her and I need a drink.

So I got paired up with a guy who didn't come to class last week. He seems like a cool guy, real smart and all. Not a complete bitch like Michelle. He's been in the program for 3 years, part time like me. He's survived. Looks like I have a role model. I think he will keep me sane in this class.

Class went all right. It's the same stuff I learned in Babakus's class (Marketing Research MKTG 71somenumber). It's a refresh for me at this point, which I do appreciate.

During break, I was talking with Aaron (cool one, not pisshouse) and some other guy. They were telling me how Amini has "mellowed" down a bit since teaching PhD classes. Amini has been at it for 3 years. The first year was much more of a disaster than anything because he assumed students would know their stuff or something. Now, he's really hands on, for which I do appreciate.

I cooled down a bit in class. I watched how Amini struggled with his laptop and trying to get SPSS running. It basically shat on him. Amazing right? So at the end of class, I decided to help him out. Unfortunately, guess who was around the corner ready to pounce back - bitch-face. Damn it, when did she get hyena-based traits?

She was like "you don't have to do that Terry, the program will correct itself." After thinking about it on the way to work, I should've said "then why the hell has he had this problem?!" Go Duck yourself. God, why couldn't I have pissed on her sooner?! One day, when she's bored, she will Google herself and see how much shit I have posted about her.

After class, I wanted to say hello to the chair and asked him if he has any bitch work for me to do. Went to the office and noticed it was pratically empty. What gives? I asked his secretary and she said he was promoted to Academic Dean. That's pretty awesome right there. Then I asked her who was taking over as chair. She said Llyod Brooks. My heart and brain sank. The whole department is going under! Brooks will make the MIS department a joke. Indians will be running around ruining the program. Damn it all to hell.

2 weeks down, 12 to go.

Day 1 ISDS 8350

First day of school! Wait, it should say

First day of school. Yes, that's how tired I was this morning. Last night, I participated in our work's fantasy football. I did decent. I had my laptop out and was decked with Excel spreadsheets. I loaded the roster into my comp the night before and did some stats against it. Unfortunately, I was first to pick in the draft which totally sucks cause the next time I would pick was seat 24. Suxxxxxxxxx. Anyways, I hit on our waitress, got her name (she has a bf, but whatev). I facebook'd her and man-o-man, she's a Ole Miss 9. Love at first sight folks. Love at first sight.

Like I was saying, I was dragging to class. After the draft ended (around 9ish), I stayed late at the office to get some work done. I finished around 12:30ish. I decided to stay at my rent's house which isn't too far away from the office instead of driving to midtown. I got home around 1:15 and took a shower. It was around 1:30 when I was klunked out.

I set my alarm clock to wake me at 7:15. I texted the little sister to find out how long it would take to get to campus from c'ville. She said 45 mins. If I had stayed at my house, it would be about 15 mins. Man, those 30 mins sound so good right now.

The drive to campus is hell. I hate the commute. I have to go the speed limit in cville, then speed at the g-town/memphis border and hop on the interstate to get to campus. Rubbernecking is the worst/stupid event I've experienced. It only takes a handful of people braking to make it look like there is a long ass traffic jam a mile away.

I got to campus around 8:20. Made some good time. Didn't speed or anything. The problem is: there is nowhere to fucking park. Why do people want 8AM classes? It should be illegal on campus to have 8AM classes. The central parking lot was 95% full. I had to park in the boonies. I don't have shit in my car to steal so I was safe. I would use my hacked hangtag to park in the garage, but I have to wait until the university vehicles get their new hangtag. So far, they're using the old one. At least I can get my 1 mile walk out of the way.

So I showed up to class around 8:30. Only me and this one chick was there. She was in my database class that I took under shit-head Lloyd Brooks. Other people started to arrive closer to 9.

Here's a breakdown of my class:
6 or 7 MIS people, 3 marketing folks, 3 management folks.

I guess word is out that MIS at Memphis is shitty easy. Getting into the program is a pain in the ass (more on that later).

Dr. Amini is my prof. He seems really down to earth. Hell, he said "hell" in the first 2 minutes of the class. Yes folks, this will be one hell of a class. He introduced himself for about 20 mins or so. He's done a hell of a lot, but damn- look at this.

Dr. Mehdi Amini, Ph.D.
Professor, Management Science & SCM
Director, Enterprise Simulation & Optimization Lab (eSOL)
Associate Director, FedEx Center for Supply Chain Management
Fogelman College of Business & Economics
The University of Memphis
(901) 678-2479; mamini@memphis.edu


Yeah. That shit is on the first slide of his powerpoint. It reminds me of a certain individual (ie. "SENIOR" Associate Dean Catfish Delvin Hawley, bullshit etc). Oh yeah, forgot to mention he's got stuff about teaching in Sweden. Titles and Titles. I need to become an ordained minister, senator, reverend, representative, el presidente and lawyer to get this title

Mr. Former President for the House of Represenative, Senator, Reverend & Pastor, Dr. T., Esquire, Ph.D., DDS


How ridiculous does that shit sound? That's going to be me one day. Come to think of it, why do pastors and ministers get the "Dr." title? I know they did some shitty work to become a pastor, but can't they get something else that isn't prestigious like Order last name? I had a teacher back at Ole Miss that had a PhD in theology. The department (computer science) and he was total bullshit. I don't give them the title of "Dr." only "Mr./Miss."

After his introduction, we did ours (took an hour). I was very casual with my introduction. I told them I was born and raised in Memphis, my majors in Undergrad, my Masters and why I was in the program. Seriously, I wanted to say "so I can start my work day at 11," but I lied and said some bull along the lines of research.

The rest of the class period (2 hrs) was just lecture. I had to rotate in my chair every 30 mins because my butt bone was stabbing the god awful plastic chairs. They are not for comfort and perfect to keep freshman awake. During break, I walked out of the classroom and towed in a comfy chair from one of the other classrooms. The teacher noticed and made a comment. The rest of the class either thought I was crazy or clever. Be entertained with my presence.

Dr. Amini gave us some homework. One thing about the PhD program that totally sucks is reading 40 pg journal articles. Why the hell does this shit have to be that long? I swear, having it summed down to at least 10 pages would satisfy the overall conclusion. I know it's something I have to get used to, but in all fairness, 10 trees would be saved.

1 week down, 13 to go.
