I am floundering here. Too much to learn. Too many variables. Model is ugly and does not flow properly, requiring me to fix them at every scenario change. Hence, not enough time allocated for frivolous (but entirely cathartic) blogging. Until tonight anyway.
Yes, I haven't posted for over two months of this fledgling blog. I will make a very bad father. A great uncle, maybe, the favourite uncle that buys lots of nice expensive presents and doesn't mind wearing the crappy pirate costume for impromptu comedy. But based on my ability to devote time to a newborn blog, and extrapolating that 20 years into the future, and adjusting for terminal value, the NPV of my fatherly instincts are almost zero. I contend it's not negative in an effort to convince myself it is worth improving, and also for the unproven correlation between blogging frequency and fatherhood.
Anyway, I have been working fairly average IB hours since starting in my new role. Actually we just finished writing up a deal, which has given me enough breathing time to be writing this entry up and then playing indoor soccer later tonight. OK "playing" might be an overstatement; my job is to dynamically occupy enough space so as to minimise the other team's score. I can't even call it goalkeeping... I think it's more akin to space-hogging.
New plan is to try and write short entries while waiting for a model to fall on my lap (the financial kind, unfortunately), or sipping my hot chocolate while updating myself on the news, and write the longer ponderings at home in front of the TV (note to self: multitasking is bad for you).
Let's see if we can keep up the new plan.
