GCP

Ah yes another blog with some crazy acronym in the title. It is true that this MBA is definitely about learning the business jargon and on top of that we have the JBS lingo to contend with as well.

So GCP – stands for Global Consulting Project. I think it use to go by another name but I guess another feature of jargon is that it rather a dynamic form of language. Every few years it likes to reinvent itself just to stop us all becoming complacent.

I am so pleased with my project. I am getting to work with Saatchi & Saatchi worldwide, plus some really clever MBA’s. Super cool really and exciting. Although, it is certainly looking like some serious work…..

But, not only are we popping down to London for interviews but are likely to be going to Amsterdam. Fun huh!

Always good to focus on the fun stuff when you get the chance – that way the mountains of interviews coming along may seem way scary and really overwhelming!

My special skill: Packing

I definitely think this is my special skill.

Other people can cook, paint, sail, are amazing at excel (god I still get twitchy if I have to open that computer program), some can dash about on roller blades, sing in tune to the radio. None of things would I say I do with any aplomb.

But it would seem that packing is something I am good at. This is not something I think women really do that well. I mean how often do you see Women with enormous pink suitcases in Heathrow, filled to the brim, zip bulging. This is clearly a rhetorical question – as the answer is all the time! Although, I do think whomever came up with the wheely suitcase should be given a major pat on the back as he or she has certainly saved many people some rather nasty back pain!

I am off to Paris tomorrow morning with some friends. Yippee! And my task is to fit 5 days worth of stuff into an easy to carry bag.

So I had better get my thinking cap on – to make sure that everything fits, matches and is clean!
