10 days and counting...

two years have passed, only 10 more days to go and then i will finish. these ten days, though a really short time, seem like ten bloody years!! there is so much going on, such a lot of work is left to submit that i will be dead by the time the 21st rolls in.
today i have my last deans list ceremony, my last as i know i will not be on there the next time which my recent results demonstrate. then tomorrow, the economics project will be submitted and we will complete the service operations project. then finance, service operations presentation, weekend, come 18th i will be sitting for two exams within an hour of each other.
oh joy!! :(
as far as good news goes, i *think* i have a job. the reason i say think is that although i know it exists, i still have to see any official proof, i dont know when i will be starting exactly, how much will i be paid nor when or where my housing is being arranged. i am going out of my mind as these uncertaininties are the most important ones. the only comfort i have is that its a permanent position and not a management traineeship, so they cant toss my ass out after a year. and as i interned there last summer, i have a very good idea of what i am getting myself into. late nights, galore! but thts what i get for choosing corporate finance as a startup stream.
bas das din aur and then i go to karachi for eid, meet ghazal after eons, and generally have a lazy time, filled with food (sunshine ki kulfi, falooda, kabab paratha rolls, as well as kababs and parathas at bundu khan, and the icing on top of the cake would be mava puffs, chum chum from bhashani, if it still exists, and akhroot ka halwa from rehmat-e-shereen and a visit to espresso, i wanna see what all the fuss is about). aahhhhh food, good desi food!
good so back to stupid TQM.

HELP!!!
if anyone knows anyplace where i might get some facts on the application of tqm and the subsequent improvement, in marriott hotels corp. and boeing, please tell me. i cant find a single thing and they are supposed to be the best at tqm (total quality management)

Good for you, you have a job lined up at least you dont have to worry about that. These last days will pass and you wont even know. about the TQM stuff i havent used them in a while but www.lexisnexis.com/ used to have any and all information in our times.

If you're looking for long working hours and endless late nights in the office, you chose the right profession: FINANCE!

@DReb: Thanks for the tip, although i didnt find what i was looking for it might be handy the next time!! :)

@Clayfuture: i choose finance coz strangey it was fun when i did my internship, and as all functions in hospitality are time intensive i dont think i will be working longer than most people in operations. plus its quite cushy and its corporate finance so its different than the hard core stuff.
