One step at a time

Its been a LONG day. Getting caught up in the excitement of planning mums birthday part! well done Dawn for thinking of this idea in the first place!

Its almost final lucas is moving to NYC in the next month or two. yes perhaps its best to not think about it and enjoy it while it lasts.

today, I plucked up my courage and handed my CV to the head of the credit derivatives desk.. well not DIRECTLY .. but through someone on his desk whom i had trained before. Unfortunately I might have a huge task ahead of convincing him that I am really not that irritating... thats the tag that comes with the territory of being a bloomberg sales person.. I know for a fact he hates bloomberg for being a so called bully.. and so with my companys reputation becomes mine. I just hope i get a chance to undo the less than perfect first impression he has of me. It is a tad unfortunate as most other department heads love me.. except for HIM.. then again i know he is not a tough ass as he puts out.. as i have seen how he is with other people. All I can do now is let things rest for a while.. then hopefully an opportuntity comes up again.

I never thought that i would end up as a Sales person. well its different being a sales person in an investment bank. At least you are making lots of money, big deals and using your brain. I am surrounded by unmotivated and stupid people at work who spend the ENTIRE day complaining. My blog is my outlet.. otherwise i would implode.. at work.. you just make the best of the situation. So with all the best tools, news and information at my fingertips.. all i can do is to educate myself and wait for the right moment..

whats the hurry.. right?

Dawn you dont know where you will be next year.. that is true too.. so I am glad you are positive about it all! I take my jb in my stride.. but there are days when it gets so frsutrating because my job is soooo mindless and boring. and interacting with people at goldman sachs doesnt help. How great it would be to have the chance to be in that environment, motivated, pumped, dynamic and challenging...

lets see how it all works out
