Well, I made it.
Very, very early Sunday morning after two nearly solid days of catching up, I completed the coursework for a Master's degree - an MSM with an emphasis on Project Management. I graduate July 8. I've already landed a better job partly because of it.. but at the end of the day - I've realized I'd just as soon shut up and play my guitar.

Excellent!
Now the nightmares about missing final exams begin. :-)
Enjoy, but don't think you're done learning stuff. Keep up with your reading.
Cheers,
Scott.

Yay for you!

Congrats! It took a lot of work and sacrifice. May the rewards return to you many times over.

Well in your project management role...
you can use playing your guitar as an incentive to the people doing the work.
Whether as a positive or negative incentive depends on how good you are...

Thanks everyone :)
Wish we could afford to get to the bash - but I assure you a proper celebration will be had here in Colorado.

good for you
so now you not only know the schedule is going to slip, you can explain why it will slip before it happens.
yeah, I'd rather play guitar too... :-)
Have fun,
