Productive Day

You can tell that it's been a very productive day on the old work front by the fact that I am now posting my second blog entry in less than eight hours. I recently was informed that the woman who used to make my life a living nightmare while I worked at the hedge fund, flipped and quit. This is regrettable but it does post further doubt on her assumptions about the nature of work in today's marketplace. True, I was not willing to go to the lengths she was in order to succeed. In the end is she any better off than I? Financially speaking, yes she is but she is nearing her sixties and I am yet only 24, so we won't have comprable cash hordes to compare until sometime down the line. All I can say was that she was patently unhappy with her life, felt that the only meaning there was to be had was in proving to the world that she could "hang" or "surpass" every other human being on the planet. Back when I was working with her this seemed to be a lot of work and in retrospect it seems to have been even ardous than I had imagined then. I am not happy so to speak with my current job nor am I necessarily happy with who I am, but I do like my view of the world. If nothing else I believe that the world rewards hard work in pursuit of a noble goal, that you should do unto others as you would have done unto yourself and that we should make the best of the brief time we have on this planet just in case this happens to be all there is for us. This view I'm happy with, everything else well, keep reading...
