Scratch

Well, after a long extracted period, I have decided to remain at my current firm for another year. Part of the reason was because I didn't get an offer at another firm I wanted to join, but another reason was because two years after college, I still have no idea what I want do with my life. So I figure rather than go someplace new and try to figure it out, why not stay put and figure it out and make some decent scratch in the process.

Anyway, to try to effect a personal development of some sort, I've come up with a list of things I want to accomplish in the next year. I've decided to start small for now.

1.) Get the crack in my windshield of my car fixed.
2.) Get the side mirror of my car fixed.
3.) Get the dent in my bumper fixed.
4.) Get my car inspections done (sticker expired in February)
5.) Figure out who would win in a fight: Darth Vader or Superman.

Question: If I think that dour pessimism makes one introspective and reflective, is that too optimistic a view to have?

Quote of the Day

Quote of the Day from the I.B.

"If you can't do it instinctively, you may never be able to learn. If you're not born with the right gene, you can go to Harvard and you can go to Wharton, but you'll never be very good at what you're doing; it's all from the gut." - The Donald

This is meant to inspire us? Yet perhaps appropriate for an investment bank.

A Letter

Dear Abby,

I'm confused. People act like they want me, they'll do anything to get me, but then they tell me that I'm cold and hard. Now, I admit I can be a little frayed around the edges, but don't you think that's a little harsh? One minute I'm a king, the next minute I'm the root of all evil. I don't know what to do. Please help me.

Warmly Yours,

Cash

Cash,

Maybe you aren't showing people enough interest? It's not entirely your fault. There's simply not enough of you to go around. Keep that confidence up, you'll figure it out.


Sincerely Yours,

Abby
