Busy, Busy, Busy

Well I’ve been busy, busy, busy. I took the last two weeks off and headed to Tofino with my wife for a much deserved rest before beginning my MBA at UBC. We spent a lot of time lying around the hotel doing, uh, nothing at all actually.

Oh sure, we did the mandatory whale watching, hikes (including Meares Island and Pacific Rim National Park), and walks on Long Beach. But mostly we did nothing. I normally find it scary to do nothing at all, but it was a nice change to relax and do absolutely nothing.

Sigh.

Since coming back, things have picked up in preparation for the start of the MBA Program next week. Between getting books, attending the orientation (including a great Presentation Skills workshop with Geoffrey X. Lang), and getting myself oriented to the campus and my new classmates I haven’t had much time.

And it only looks like it’ll get worse.

In among the insanity, I did have one interesting surprise: I found my book at Chapters! And not just one copy, but two! Wow. It’s almost like I’m actually an author or something. Then again, publishers will publish any old thing.
