All You Can Eat Acronyms (AYCEA)
Ten weeks into my MBA and signs of exhaustion were creeping in. The glow of a new life of learning and new 'challenges' is certainly fading fast. The sight of lecturers running to the Union to pick up knock price fruit and veg is now damn right pathetic rather than an amusing feature of academic life…
I am considering my options after the 4th painful Powerpoint presentation in 90 minutes of mind numbing line and bar charts delivered by amateur speakers ranging from masters of the mono syllable to those who like the sound of their highly pitched cacophony. It's like sitting through eight nativity plays in a row and your child is not even included to keep you in your seat.
Raw pain and anger is building up as the last speaker fakes excitement at Tesco's levels of 'unsecured debt' and 'securitization' and I always preferred Waitrose anyway; their BBQ roast chicken beats Tesco's hands down.
Christ almighty,,, someone is actually asking questions now about the historical growth of Price over Earnings,,,,
Thanks Bill ()*&*^^%%$$^%

I'm a massive Myers Briggs fan:) Have used it at several 'team events' in previous jobs... even forced the BusinessBecause guys to do the test - unfortunately we have lots of last-minute 'P's in the organisation!

funny! So Hayder, if you were the lecturer how would you do it better?

I can commiserate. If I see one more powerpoint slide in my course... well, I guess I'll do nothing. But I'm with you.

That Chart is probably something that every MBA can recognize. Its quite a useful tool though.
Btw this article is a must read when talking about the effects of PowerPoint, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/27/world/27powerpoint.html
