The Year in Ruin (reflection)

The year comes to an end soon.

To me, the fall of the house of LEH hasn't really sunk in yet. It is a tragedy.. it really is. As more and more colleagues leave the firm it sinks in a bit more -- more than the financial loss that we all endure, is the blow to the psyche of having been part of this tragedy and shame. While we live on with a new name still get paychecks and live lavishly it is something that will haunt me in some ways.

Oh well I can just live on. As Rocky Balboa said it... and I don't need to repeat it.

Financially I suck. I am making horrible moves left and right. Argggggg had I only some forsight..... limiting exposure is what we all have to do in life. Protect yourself man.

The new girlfriend is quite nice to hang out with. I have to say I wish I picked up a serious girlfriend earlier in my days in TK. I think I'd have had a more fun experience but at the same time, I think goofing around endlessing chasing girls for the 1st year was a good way to burn myself out.
