The Fly... So today, I went downtown to meet one of my big important profs. He was the one gracious enough to write me one of my coveted reference letters. It also helped slightly that he was the big head honcho of the board. He was one of the members who would be reviewing the applications (and in essence, would be reading his letter that he wrote for me.) He's written tons of textbooks and is well respected in the HR academic community. As the cherry on top, this guy even has his own annual award named after him. (For confidentiality reasons, I can't list his name here.) So I went in to meet him, this big meeting that would hopefully help to determine the course of my very existance. We talked and he gave me great insight on the different programs at the different schools, and listened as I told him my lifelong ambitions and dreams. And then, I noticed it. So evident, it was. The fly. Open. Exposed. We're not talking halfway down here; we're talking the whole way down. So blatantly open, it was embarassing. As we kept talking, an epic battle ensued in my head. To tell, or not to tell - that is the question today. We were about to leave, I had to make a decision. If I didn't tell, he'd be embarassed and it's a civic duty to tell a fellow human being their fly is down. But if I did tell, he'd also be embarassed, perhaps even angry? What if it was too embarassing? Would my dreams and hopes all "fly" away? Choose your own adventure: If you choose to tell, turn to page 74. If you choose not to tell and leavve, turn to page 14. posted by jamescl | 3:12 PM

Thanks to my buddies for adding colour to my otherwise dull life.
