Apologies...

It's been I don't know how long since I updated this. And a lot has happened in the intervening time. So for the benefit of all you readers out there, if there are any, here's an update of what you've missed....

In January I left that very untrustworthy Bank and moved to a major Airline that has seen better days. Working in Dublin Airport, it was the guts of a three hour commute every day to do a particularly boring job in an office that held approxiamately 30 people but was occupied by only 10 or so. It was mind numbing stuff. I had to get out.

Fortunately, I did.

Before I started with the Airline, I was out of work for a couple of weeks. During this time I developed a habit of staying up on the internet for all hours. One night, about 2am, I applied for a position with an American investment bank which had offices here in Dublin. I didn't expect it at all but was called for an interview. I really enjoyed the interview, it was the only time an interviewer had asked me about my hobbies.

I started with the investment bank after three weeks in the Airline.

It's worked out damn well. I deal with New York business. The job has opened up a whole new way of life as well. It's somewhat surreal to be in a conference call and here people recommend someone stay in the Ritz Carlton at Battery Park because "the pillows are just incredible".

It's that kind of place. And I love it. I feel weird, kind of, I don't know, bullish....
