And I noticed that I've only been posting a couple of things here and there the last couple of weeks, so here's something cool and refreshing to enjoy on a sunny June afternoon.

My apologies for neglecting you
This has been a bitch of a week. Project management class is kicking my ass. Preliminary project plan including a Work Breakdown Schedule, Network Diagram, and budget (I fucking hate Excel) has been completed and turned in for what it's worth.

Maybe you should have taken a time management class first. ~ducks for cover~
ReplyDeleteRe Excel. Beats a calculator, pencil and paper.
And well done.

If you need any PM help, let me know....
ReplyDeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteA man came home from work one day and found his three children in the front yard, still in their pajamas, dirty and surrounded by fast food cartons. When he walked into the house the place was a mess. Clothes and toys everywhere, dirty dishes in the sink; then he went into the bedroom and found his wife in bed reading a book. "What is going on?" he asked. His wife smiled sweetly and said, "You know how you ask me what I do all day?" "Well today I didn't."
LMAO over this one.
Yeah, this honey coming out of the pool? Your forgiven.
ReplyDeleteYou will learn to love Excel. Especially after you learn Visual Basic. I've done training in Excel for years. I've also done training in P3 and recently in P6. No doubt you will use those programs too. Good luck! Remember, every day is what you make it.
ReplyDeleteWhat, no MS Project with embedded Excel? Sounds like it is a different animal than when I took it in the late 90's.

Ah, Tsquare, it is a MSWord with embedded Excel and FIVE LucidChart charts including an organizational chart, work breakdown schedule, timeline, and network diagram.
ReplyDeleteI'd been a PM for years when I started looking into PMI certification. I found that PM training/certification was more about the lingo and onerous processes, and less about managing people and getting things done. It felt more like joining a cult than learning skills. Then again, that's how most professions that need certification turn out: clubs filled with people that paid a lot of $ to get in the door, and very well-paid training companies & cert organizations guarding the door. I quit being a PM five years ago, disgusted with the corporate politics and the way that a-holes got ahead.
ReplyDeleteI'm much happier working on the homestead. There's still plenty of bs to deal with, but now it composts into something useful! ;-)

I'd buy that for a dollar.
