I should do a juice cleanse.May 7: SO HUNGRY, I HATE KALE JUICE.May 8: caved and ate a whole carton of ice cream, will start cleanse again tomorrow.June 17: Wish I had a six pack or bicep veins, maybe next year?Jul 29: Damn, rent is going to be raised in September. Megan got fired from her job, but she didn't really do good work anyway and was always reading Buzzfeed and writing GoodReads reviews.... more Remember to be consolatory to her. Try.Aug 22: Invested all my clients in some of these great CDOs, it's like cruise control to Richville! Totes getting a raise on this bitch.Sept 14: FUCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSept 30: Sure this new job isn't as prestigious but at least I'm learning new service skills. I wonder how all my clients are doing since they lost all their money? Oh well, just keep swimming.Nov 28: Maybe I will write a novel? I have lots of time. I could be the voice of my disenfranchised generation. Maybe like a modern day 'Great Gatsby' story? I kind of liked that book in High School, I could cast January Jones as the unattainable love interest, and Taylor Swift could sing the theme maybe? I should get a moleskine.Dec 24: I heard suicides spike during the holidays. Whatever, plenty of scotch left.Dec 27: No more scotch.
review 2: The hedge fund manager is an economist in the purest sense of the word. He speaks Econ and even though I am sure he has never read any of the papers I read in grad school, he knows them all -- he knows the main message and philosophy of them all. His clarity of thought is remarkable, except when he goes on vacation, you can see the wheels in his brain not turning quite as fast. Which is also a fascinating phenomenon. A quick read if you know the crisis, a but technical if you don't. less
