I met w/ my old friend Scotty the ex-banker while in HK. Let me tell you its going to be hard for me to relate to this guy soon. He's now CFO of a 600m$ public company and involved in acquiring companies and shit like that. Here I am developing random monitoring tools for traders. I find it a step that I can't quite comprehend. He's better off hanging w/ my brother the CFO. Shit I wonder if I'll get to the C** level. Closest I can get is coding C++.
But in the end, he has regular problems in life just like you or I. His GF and he don't get each other, and while engaged they got to the point of her or him moving out and saying farewell. Life is tough man. But I guess if you can make $500k+ a year + $500k+ a year in equity then you have 1 less thing to worry about!
The monkey is a big thing in life. I ponder the importance of Monkey, as do my friends.
In the end I think I can do w/o monkey but its what drives us all. The monkey... the man.. the madness.
In more interesting news I went to Macau this weekend as well. I stayed at Venetian. Many thing I am splurging and I wonder what people do w/ their money. But for me, if I'm on "vacation" I go 4-star/5-star and don't mess around. The incremental cost is worth it.
However I have decided to boycott Venetian Macau. The bastard manager at the Dim-Sum restaurant in Venetian casino pissed me off. I was arguing w/ the guy about the rice and he wouldn't remove it from my bill. Chinese dudes (no offense) are tight w/ money.. its true, they know how to make money. No feebies for sure!
