Countdown to ze baiday in 1..2..3...
Did I mention that I plan to do absolutely NADA? Everyone is like 'whachu got planned for the day' and I'm like 'errrr...nothing'. Hmm hmm, make the weekend come fest.
Currently feeling very uninspired maaaan. I have this fantasy of quitting my J-O-B and moving across the country. Make I follow the Nike slogan and 'Just do it' abi? Then again, while I can be very spontaneous, e get as this one be. I have to have a plan B before I even start any shenanigans.
Grad School. To go or not to go. I used to swear on the hair of my chinny chin, that I wouldn't go to grad school. Luckily, in my field of work...your professional license/certification is what matters, and not an advanced degree. Lately I've been kinda sorta re-thinking it. Let me just say that I'm seriously on the fence with this one. I applied and got into a program; but now I'm like 'Do I really wanna do this?'...so I'm going to defer my admission till the Spring semester while I attempt to figure out what the heck I wanna do with my life. I used to swear that even if I went to Grad school, it certainly would not be for an MBA but now that I've been seeing a couple of job descriptions with the line...'MBA preferred' and I'm like hmmmm.
Yes, I am certainly experiencing some sort of crisis. Do they have therapists for these kind of things? It's only so much whining that you can do to your friends before they start singing 'heard it all before.....'. *sigh*
I have not done a lick of work today. Bad, bad me!
Blogsville reminds me of college days. You know how you start out and you're friends with everyone. Then over the years, you drop some friends, you meet new ones and of course you have the tried and true ones who stuck with you from freshman year to senior year. Eventually people graduate and move on to other things and the college welcomes the new freshmen who are set for world domination. :-)
Well, that's blogsville for you. Started out reading folk/being read by some...as time passed, I lost interest in some, just as they lost interest in me and in the same vein, I still read some of the original people that I started out reading...just as they still read me and of course, the older bloggers seem to have 'graduated' therefore making room for the brilliant writers who are new to blogsville a.k.a 'freshmen'. Woohooo...
Speaking of 'freshmen', gotta say one of my new faves is 48 (Link included for your viewing pleasure)...I certainly enjoy reading her.
Switched up the template a teeny weeny bit. Word on the street was that some folk had to highlight the entire page in order to read. Is this better? I don't always aim to please so consider this to be some sort of Xmas bonus (in advance)...teeheehee.
I have a lot of thinking to do...
Have a good weekend y'all. Keep it safe.
PS:- Are we seriously still talking about this Gates vs. Crowley case? *smh*...I hope that after the 'beer summit' tonight, all man can finally hear word.

Good luck with whatever you decide on, I do hear MBA is very useful though.
Lol at 'blogsville' being like high school, soo true. All very weird really..oh well.

Ah.. beer summit no be small thing o.. Dem for buy 'kunu' na....

Newbie here!
Lol @ fantasy of quitting your job sha...DONT DO IT! hehe I'm just being your voice of reason o. Altho I do get the other part of just wanting to move somewhere new. So how about u revise that fantasy to getting a new job that'll move you somewhere new with a huge signing bonus and a month or two before start date...I c u spending those months travelling and shopping in exotic locations...no? First stop - Switzerland, then france...okay lemme stop here, I think I literally just forced my fantasy on you lol.
Thanks for ze mention hon - my very first in blogville *blushes*
lol...i think u should go for the degree, it just looks better and honestly in this job market we all need that extra something up our sleeve..
i feel you on the blogsville like college stuvs...lawd knows i dont read half the blogs i used to..
as for quitting ur job..unless ur got money rolling in from somewhere else..dont do it....lol
p.s gates and crowly....beer summit lol
that whole thing is annoying..
I heard MBA's are quite handy nowadays...You get paid more than someone with just a degree...This side of the world anyways...Come here!! They pay really good!!!
:D :D
Lol@ kunu.
At this rate, they might be needing it cos apparently Gates doesn't drink teheee
Are you not big on birthdays (like ME!) or is it just this years? Anyways, you've an offer. So grab it!
"Just do it" in a recessed economy? Sounds fantastic!
What's the ish with the world and MBAs? I thought it was only here in Nigeria that employers are degree & advanced degree crazy.
LOL @ "heard it all before..." I also need some sort of therapist. LOL!
New bloggers are brilliant writers. Apparently I'm not reading the right blogs. Miss some the grandpapa and grandmama bloggers. Speaking of which, abeg, help me find NDQ.
Abeg, we want a bolder template.
...that coulda been me writing the Grad school portion of your post. I mean i SWORE!!!!...I'm not as far gone as you are sha...it's just popping in my head a lot more often now. We shall see...
Have a lovely weekend too...even if you end up doing Nada.
lol...happy birthday oh!!
CC: Girl, I'm actually thinking more like the South. *Gasp*...Still loves me some NY but darn that Southern appeal of cheaper real estate, no state income taxes (TX) and that general calm that I feel every time I visit is really calling me.
Seems like everyone thinks that an MBA is a go, but I hate standardized tests. Freakin' GMAT. I am OFFICIALLY tired of the DMV mayne...A move to Naija would rock! Considered that too but i'd have to mentally prepare myself for it. No mind some bloggers o jare...lol.
And yes ma'am...I donated rice today.
Oh and throw me a parry, woman! :-D
Taymee: As per the MBA, that's the word on the street. Yelz o, I'm finna harrass CC to throw me a parryyy. lol
No Long Thing: Hahahahah @ kunu. No be small thing. Welcome newbie, I go check you out in a few.
48: Chei, this babe you do me bad thing o. As in now I just wan send in this 2 weeks notice like right now. Your fantasy is soo heavenly, Lord knows I need some time off to travel the world, get my shop on and regain my sanity.
Unwritten: You guys are certainly making me think about this MBA business. Hmmm...Hmmm. My sister, I certainly don't got 'ego' rolling in from anywhere else o. Kai!
LadyX: You are in Dubai right? A whole bunch of folk in the Finance field have been moving there and they are getting paid major bank. Not bad at all oooo.
Olu: I'm really not big on birthdays. I think I must have been one of the few peeps who didn't do a 'big 25th bash' when the time came. If someone wants to plan for me then cool, but I dislike planning stuff.
Hmmm if I ever wanna move to Naija, I go certainly need an advanced degree. Competition dey o!
Bros, NDQ don jar o but I go hunt am down. Ha Ha...check out the new bloggers, abi search well for them. Some of they really dey o!
Bolder template gini? LOL.
Repressed: Menn, the whole application process is a trip sha o. 'Letter of recommendation', this and that. *sigh*. Gonna go home and do some serious research sha o. Thanks my sister, you have a great weekend too.
Leggy: Thanks.
Happy birthday nnem in advance. Blogging is what it is. I am pretty sure that when my time comes .. I will do what others before me have done leave quietly BUT while we are here then we better enjoy it all.
I discover new and good blogs all the time and I love it!
Happy birthday babes
xxx
All the best as you ponder on things...this and that.
My two cents....
i think investing in an MBA is pretty sensible, if u've got the $$$ and strength!
Goodluck making that decision!
I agree about blogsville being like college....haha!
and you can do grad skul, no education is ever a waste! it all adds up some day!
goodluck hon
this is not the right time to be quitting ur J-O-B.
plus since the job market is very tough u have to distinguish urself somehow from the pack to stay ahead. if the MBA will help u do that, go for it!
love the new template...very apt analogy...when is your bday?
I forgot to say don't quit your job until you have something else on the side to do. Lekwe ka aguru n'agu gbu gi.
Happy birthday in advance, I am counting with o. Can't wait for the birthday to arrive.
You are so right, blogville feels like college, we graduate, fail sometimes and return for good.
How you de jare?
@chocolate and caramel
Did you say grad school in blogville? For real, am laughing here. You forgot to mention PHD, no way.lol
I hope you take time out to enjoy your day....
i agree with you-i'm not sure about the masters thing too, cos i don't think i really need it in my profession...
i wish all the best...
I motion for you to move down to da dirty south, aka Atlanta.lol..there's lots to do.. socially and job wise...and
Good luck w/ your decision as far as grad school... was considering my options myself, then i found out i have none...gotta do masters.
So is this like some quarter life crisis mode you're in?
Time to assess and reassess.
I guess a lot has got to do with you jumping out of your comfort zone and trying something new..
But then having a parachute when you make that jump isn't exactly foolhardy.
G'luck! And Happy buffday in advance!
happy birthday in advance!!!
yeah do go with the MBA!!
Happy Birthday in advance!
Now is not the time to quit your job except you have something really worth to do!
Heard MBA gives an edge!
Make sure you really do the thinking well oh! before making any decision
hmmm... I will say MBA is nt a bad idea at all. give it some cool thinking.
and for ur birthday, let's have some parry joo!!!
Happy Baiday in advance!!!
All this one u r talking abt blogville being like college, u had berra not be planning to graduate oh! Fail a course and have an extra yr or sumthing, just don't graduate!
Abt the J-O-B,Nice Anon has said it all. Aguru is a very strong motivator.
I'm really liking your new template.
I am an advocate for advanced degrees. You just can't go wrong with at least 1.
Bets of luck on whatever you decide!
NIGERIAN CURIOSITY
IT WAS SO MUCH EASIER WHEN I ONLY HAD ONE...
Happy birthday o....Concerning the grad shool thing...even here almost everybody goes for it...I think in the long run it will a good decision.
all d best with ur decision making...can't u do a pt masters/mba while still holding on to ur job?...
I'm still trying to decide my after school plans! But yeah i know what you mean about blogsville. I thought it was becoming more boring because the blogs on my list hadn't updated in months! But I took a road to rediscover blogsville yesterday and wow...there is brilliance in this zone!
x!
Have fun on your baiday jo...it's only once a year!
As per school plans, i guess deferring it will help you think clearly and decide what you want.
How you dey?
Just get the grad school out of the way, so that you have more options to do what you wanna do. Plus being in grad school buys you time...GD luck and Have a Happy Birthday tomorrow!
Happy Birthday o! Wishing you all the best the day has got to offer and so many more years . . . up till a 100 (My grandmum just turned 70 and she thinks anything beyond 90 is unnecessary). Anyways, have fun, sis. On the crisis thing, trust me, it happens even to the 'littlest' of people. Advice: Relax and don;t make any decisions for the next coupl's weeks. Seriously, it helps. You'd have time to get your faculties in order and make the best decision. Wish you all the best. Mehn, it;s been a WHILLLLLEEEE. Me, I didn't forget you oh! lol
PS - Na wah for you oh. No everyone can read highlighted texts o. Anyways, that;s just the Original Mgbeke at her best . . . never aiming to please. One hell of a xmas bonus. lol
whoop whoop to Leo's!! yey! my B'day was on Sat ;-)

Happy Baiday in advance o!!!
As for the job quitting thing...hehehe! Rebuke the voice of the devil telling you to do it! lol!
