Mark and Jie's Journey to B-School

...and still no strike. On the surface this sounds like good news, but for me, personally, it really isn't. The problem is that I can't make any plans whatsoever until the strike either happens or it doesn't. The company and Union agreed that the Union will give 30 days notice before a strike. Once that notice is given, we will start an intensive training process to bring managers up to speed and that means no vacations. So, I can't make any vacation plans because the Union could announce a strike, and once that happens it will be at least 2 months before I can go anywhere (30 days notice and I am assuming at least a month long strike). The best thing for me would be for the company and Union to announce a strike or a settlement tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath...

Against the Gods has really turned into a fascinating read. Keynesian economics, game theory, Markowitz Portfolio theory, it's all very interesting. I may try and put up a full review after I finish it.
