2008 closes soon.. what have I really done this year? I think I had fun. Wow I had fun in 2007 so I think I'm having alot of fun, but whats it really for?
I went to Hawaii w/ the girl I'm dating. Why? I don't know.. I think a) I have time, b) work is boring, and c) I want to quickly find out if this girl is worth investing time in. While going to Hawaii costs money, time is money too, and I thought it'd be nice to spend a week together to get to know each other in rapid fashion. In the end, I am not that certain but I had a great time and felt we get along quite well... but alas, there are always problems so life is never perfect.
Oh btw wtf is w/ the beachfront in Hawaii.. its shrinking. Water levels are rising. This is weird. I am waiting for HNL real estate to collapse... can it really hold it together while the world crashes? Where is the economy/money in Hawaii.. ? The boom of japanese tourism is all but gone, only chinese, aussies, and canadians and your occasional cheap american.
More on the gf later...
For work, soon as I return I have the big boss asking where I am and wants to meet w/ me like right away. So I find out that.. I'm not laid off, but instead moved to a diff project that has some dudes leaving. Waaaa.. so its interesting I spent ~6 months in MBS, ~6 months in Credit, and now maybe I'll spend the next 6 months in Rates. Then off to FX, and who knows what else.
A bit of brilliant news at work.. seems if we survive like 5 more days we are guaranteed a bonus payout even if we get laid off. In 5 days we supposedly get communicated our bonus #'s so at that point it'll be locked in. Looks like I'm locked into a good half year of pay on the downside if I get laid off, not bad.
Life is easy, I admit it. I have the easiest life.... such a shame.
